Two talks. One evening. Real tools you could use the next morning.
On May 6, LEDEX Events came to Faro for a focused evening on what AI can do for your business right now - from automating customer contact to running full business functions with AI agents.
LEDEX Events brings together business owners and managers from across the Algarve to learn how AI and digital tools can work in their business. Each event has two focused presentations and space to connect with others working through the same questions.
For Whom
- Business owners and managers who want to cut time spent on repetitive tasks
- Entrepreneurs looking at how AI can handle customer contact around the clock
- Team leaders who want to grow capacity without adding headcount
- Anyone in tourism, hospitality, retail, real estate, or professional services who wants to see AI working in practice
- Founders and operators who want to leave with a plan, not just ideas
What Was Covered
Vera Firman showed the AI tools local businesses are using right now to automate customer contact and lead generation - including a live demo.
Ignácio Correia walked through how to build AI wired directly into your business, connecting your data and processes so it handles tasks on its own.
Agenda
Vera shared the exact tools local businesses can use to stop losing customers to faster competitors. She covered how AI handles calls, lead qualification, and appointment booking around the clock, how to generate leads through social media on autopilot, and what to automate first. The session ended with a live demo.
Ignácio went under the hood. He walked through the technical side of AI automation - specifically how to build AI that's wired directly into your business, connecting your data and processes so it can handle tasks on its own. Using a real business example, he showed exactly how the pieces connect and what it takes to build something that runs without you.
