Intro to AI.

This deck strips away the marketing. No "AI is the future" filler. No promotional buzzwords. Just the things you'd want to know before you put an AI agent in front of a real customer or a real workflow.

Built for SMB owners, traditional project managers, and AI-curious leaders who want a working frame — not a textbook.

What's inside:

• The 5 model providers and what each does well — Claude, GPT, Gemini, Llama, Mistral
• The 5 ways AI projects fail, with real cases (Air Canada 2024, Chevy 2023, Amazon Flex 2021)
• Ethical Harness Lite — the 7 governance questions you must answer before deploying
• How to pick your first use case (hint: it should be boring)
• The tools you'll actually use — and the ones to skip
• When to escalate, when to hire a pro

Read it on a Saturday. Use it Monday. The deck pairs with the broader AURA learning track — this is Module 01 of the foundations sequence.
