Hey, I'm Lola 👋
I'm Lola Phoenix, an independent AI workshop consultant and facilitator. I help teams and small businesses use AI tools for everyday work, including charities, through beginner-friendly, hands-on sessions.
I've always been interested in new technology. Geocities led to managing websites. Building Discord bots with ChatGPT led me here.
I had a genuinely annoying problem, repurposing Instagram content before it expired, and instead of doing it by hand every week, I taught myself to build a tool that did it for me.
That turned into InstaStory Combine, and it turned into a bit of an obsession with how much easier this could be for other people stuck doing their own repetitive, no-code-needed busywork.
Now I run two-hour workshops teaching teams to do exactly that: bring a real task, leave with a working first version of something that solves it.
I've delivered nearly 10 introductory AI workshops, helping people who are new to AI learn practical ways to use AI tools at work.
With Digital Candle, I delivered the webinar AI for Charities: Harnessing AI tools for good, teaching charities how to use AI tools for good.
My sessions are designed for marketing teams, agencies, small businesses, and charities that want practical skills their people can use straight away.
