Training is for people with different levels of digital experience and confidence, including individuals, neurodivergent adults, disabled people who need accessible digital support, older or low-confidence digital users, charity staff and volunteers, sole traders and small organisations.
People do not need to be technical. The pace and examples should fit the person and the task.

Use AI for one real task

Verify sources and claims
Know when a person must decide
03

04
ASSISTANTS · BOUNDARIES
Build your own AI assistant
Design the purpose, instructions, approved knowledge and limits that make an assistant useful without making it unaccountable.

Write safe limits and handoffs
05
AGENTS · TOOLS · HUMAN IN THE LOOP
Introduction to AI agents
Understand how agents use tools and context, where permissions become risky and why important decisions need a human stopping point.
Separate assistant from agent
Set permissions and stop conditions
Test before trusting a workflow
AI-GENERATED VISUAL
ONLINE & LOCAL DELIVERY
Learn in the format that suits the work
Training can include online tutorials, live Zoom sessions, guided practice on a low-risk task, local workshops through charities and community organisations, and staff or volunteer training.
Where arranged for the programme, support can include plain-English written guidance, screenshots, captions, transcripts, pauses and repetition.
AI-GENERATED VISUAL
CHARITY & COMMUNITY PILOTS
A defined local project, not a vague promise
AIGENCY can work with charities and community organisations on a defined AI confidence and safety pilot. A pilot can include a needs discussion, practical group sessions, Zoom drop-ins, a staff workshop, participant feedback and a short outcomes report.
The examples, pace and format should be shaped around the people the programme is designed to support.
PROGRAMME STATUS
Under development, with defined pilot enquiries welcome
This programme is not currently advertised as a scheduled, accredited or funded course. Dates, places, duration, price and funding status are agreed only for a defined pilot or commissioned session. Use the contact route to discuss a suitable format.
ACCESSIBILITY & COMMUNICATION
Clear, predictable and flexible
Support should be clear, patient and flexible. The aim is to give people practical confidence, not to make them dependent on a tool or a consultant.
Any accessibility arrangement is agreed for the programme rather than assumed or promised without preparation.
CLEAR BOUNDARIES
What this training is not
This is non-clinical education and support. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis, crisis support, care assessments, or legal, medical or financial advice.
AI should not be treated as an authority simply because its answer sounds confident. Important information needs an appropriate source and, where needed, a human decision.
EVIDENCE BEHIND THE APPROACH
Grounded in digital inclusion, safe practice and human oversight
The programme is shaped by UK guidance on digital inclusion, AI skills, accessible learning, privacy, human oversight and online safety. Guidance and tools change; organisation-specific legal, safeguarding, data-protection or clinical questions may need qualified advice.
It is for individuals, neurodivergent adults, disabled people needing accessible digital support, older or low-confidence digital users, charity staff and volunteers, sole traders and small organisations.
Do I need technical experience?
No. Sessions start with everyday tasks, use plain English and leave time to pause, repeat and ask questions.
Is it available on Zoom?
Yes. Online tutorials and live Zoom sessions are part of the proposed delivery options.
Can charities commission a pilot?
Yes. The scope, format, accessibility arrangements, funding status and price are agreed before any work begins.
What does the training cover?
It covers everyday AI use, privacy, scams and misleading content, checking AI answers, human decision-making and when to stop and ask for help.
Is this medical, therapeutic or legal advice?
No. This is non-clinical education and support, not therapy, diagnosis, crisis support, care assessment, or legal, medical or financial advice.
How do people enquire?
