Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping how businesses analyze data, generate insights, and make strategic decisions. In this session, participants explored a wide range of modern AI tools and models, focusing on their practical use in business analytics, finance, dashboards, and presentation automation.

🚀 Exploring Modern AI Tools for Analytics

The session introduced multiple AI platforms such as Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other emerging models, highlighting their strengths across writing, coding, financial analysis, visualization, and presentation creation. Participants learned that no single model is perfect for every task—real value comes from combining multiple AI models into intelligent workflows.

🎓 Importance of AI Certifications & Skill Development

A strong emphasis was placed on AI certifications and hands-on practice. Certifications were discussed as career accelerators for professionals looking to transition into AI-driven roles in finance, analytics, and business intelligence. Learners were encouraged to build real-world projects alongside certification preparation to strengthen their profiles.

📈 AI-Powered Dashboards & Financial Insights

Participants completed assignments involving balance sheet analysis, multi-year financial comparisons, and dashboard creation using AI tools. These exercises covered:

• Year-over-year growth analysis

• Trend identification

• Predictive forecasting

• Executive-level one-page summaries

AI was used to simulate different personas such as financial analysts, data scientists, and strategic consultants, helping participants see how insights change based on perspective.

🧠 Descriptive, Predictive & Prescriptive Analytics

The session covered the three layers of analytics:

• Descriptive analytics – understanding what happened

• Predictive analytics – forecasting what may happen

• Prescriptive analytics – recommending actions

Participants practiced switching AI personas and refining prompts to move from simple analysis to advanced forecasting and strategic recommendations.

✍️ Prompt Engineering & Agentic AI

A key takeaway was the power of prompt engineering. Well-structured prompts, combined with clear context and personas, produced significantly better results.
The concept of Agentic AI was introduced, where intelligent agents can automate workflows, connect multiple AI models, and execute business processes with minimal human intervention.

📊 From Data to Dashboards to Presentations

The class demonstrated how AI can:

• Analyze raw financial data

• Convert insights into charts and dashboards

• Automatically generate executive-ready presentations

Participants learned the importance of first creating a concise one-page executive summary, then using it as the foundation for dashboards and presentations.

🔮 What’s Next?

Future sessions will focus on:

• Creating custom AI agents

• Deploying AI solutions within organizations

• Automating analytics, reporting, and decision-making workflows

The journey ahead aims to transform participants from AI users into AI solution designers ready for real-world business challenges
