Every caterer has watched an AI demo look magical - then falter on the actual job: quoting a real event, updating inventory, chasing down where the client made changes. This session tackles the trust gap head-on: why generic AI assistants are inconsistent at real operational tasks, and how skills change that. Skills are packaged, repeatable procedures that teach AI to reliably automate the work you do every day - building proposals, processing orders, syncing equipment counts - so it delivers the same result every time, not a coin flip. You'll see live examples of implementing skills into your own workflow, and leave with a framework for deciding what to hand off to AI next.
