AI training in Marion: questions

Where can I find hands-on AI training in Marion, Indiana?
AI Engines is based in Marion and brings private, hands-on AI training to teams across Grant County and North and Central Indiana, in person or online. The free Marion AI Meetup also meets monthly.
How is this different from a free AI intro workshop?
Free intro workshops, like the Google AI Essentials sessions Ivy Tech runs around Indiana, are a good first step. Our training is the hands-on next step: it names the rules that apply to you first, uses your own real work, and ends with a small AI helper each person set up. Beginners are welcome, and we use the tool your team already has or help you choose one.
Do you offer AI upskilling for Grant County employers?
Yes. We train the people you already employ to use AI safely in the work they do today, in person in Marion and Grant County or live online, for one person or groups of 2 to 20. See AI upskilling in Marion and Grant County.
Do you only train in Marion?
No. Marion is home base. We train in person across North and Central Indiana, and coaching and the 3-hour short course also run live online from anywhere. Travel is free within 20 miles of Marion, and the price calculator adds it for longer trips.
