What Is Level 1: Foundations and Build?
Level 1: Foundations and Build is the first session of The AI Fluency Series, a four-part, in-person AI training program presented by Dazzee IT Services and Innovative Automations in Springfield, Missouri. It is the starting point for business owners, managers, and public sector leaders who want their organization using AI safely and well.
Most organizations are already using tools like ChatGPT, Claude, Microsoft Copilot, and Gemini, usually without settings reviewed, rules written, or results measured. Level 1 covers choosing the right platform, the privacy and data settings to change on day one, what is safe to share, and making AI genuinely useful with custom instructions, projects, and your own data.
Level 1 leads into Automate, Govern, and Scale. See the full series for every level and date.
