Waboom AI training in Palmerston North is a hands-on workshop that teaches distribution, agrifood, research and business teams to use ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot on real work: connecting the tool to their apps, saving Skills and delegating whole tasks with a person reviewing the result. It runs at three levels, AI Foundations, AI Power User and AI Builder Bootcamp, from $1,995 + GST including 10 people, face to face in Palmerston North or virtual. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand company and is not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft.
Yes. We run the session face to face at your office, distribution centre or boardroom in Palmerston North or nearby towns. Your team works on its own laptops and accounts, so the Skills and flows they set up are ready for the next shift.
Virtual sessions have no extra costs. For face to face sessions in Palmerston North, any additional costs such as travel are discussed with you over the phone before you book, so there are no surprises.
Yes. AI Foundations suits people who have barely used AI. We start with tasks they know, like a shift handover or a carrier email, and we can split a site into two sessions so both shifts are covered.
Yes, on the tools your organisation has approved. Public sector and defence staff should use only approved tools and accounts, and we teach that boundary in the session. We confirm what is allowed before the day, so nobody is asked to sign up to a tool your organisation has not approved.
Use a business plan and agree rules first. On business plans from OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft, your data is not used to train their models by default, but your workspace settings, permissions and your own policy all matter. We help you set clear rules on what goes into a prompt.
Only within your institution's rules. We show researchers how to use AI for summaries, drafting and structure, and how to keep unpublished data, commercial results and participant information out of tools that are not approved for it.
No. Waboom AI is an independent New Zealand AI company. We are not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic or Microsoft, and none of them run or endorse this training. We teach what works in real businesses.
