The live demo is the most memorable moment of an AI workshop — and the riskiest. Prepare it with care.
Before
- Test your prompts in advance: you should know what result to expect.
- Prepare a backup screenshot in case of technical trouble.
- Increase the text size on screen so everyone can read it.
During
- Narrate your thinking out loud: « I am setting the role, then the format… »
- Show iteration: an imperfect first result, then the improvement. It teaches beautifully.
- Ask the room to suggest a prompt: the « wow » effect is far stronger when the idea is theirs.
Transparency: if the AI gets it wrong live, do not hide it — analyse it with the group. The mistake becomes a lesson about the tool’s limits.
