How small businesses can find, evaluate and make the most of artificial intelligence tools is among topics on this week’s free webinar presented by the Small Business Development Center at CSU Bakersfield.
Host and SBDC director, Kelly Bearden is joined by Justin Powers, owner and founder of Kernville Cowork, a coworking space in the Kern River Valley that serves as a hub for small business startups. Powers talks about the wide range of AI tools available for small business owners, how to find and evaluate them, and how businesses can use AI tools for business planning, marketing, customer service, and more.
With more than a decade of experience in web development, Powers worked with Salesforce, Inc., and several tech startups prior to launching Kernville Cowork in 2018. He recently founded Sierra Shared Spaces, a nonprofit created to transform the identity of the local community by fostering creation and innovation.
The webinar begins with Bearden providing updates on the Bakersfield Entrepreneurship Grant Program, availability of capital resources programs, and weather-related disaster assistance for businesses from local, state, and federal governments.
