Local roots, practical help

Starting with Portsmouth and Rye.

AI Actually Help is Roman’s community learning project. On the workshop page, he shares the Portsmouth community work that led to it. Today the aim is simple: help people use AI for a real task, on a device they can use again tomorrow.

A first useful draft

Practice with a resume, a message, a plan, or a piece of your own story. You choose what to share and what to keep private. Review the AI’s suggestions before using them.

No experience required

Begin with the basics: getting online, opening an AI tool, asking a clear question, and saving useful work. People who already use AI can practice improving and checking their prompts.

Host an in-person session.

The standard workshop is 90 minutes and works best with roughly 5–25 people. A room, chairs, internet access, and a staff contact help make it work. A projector is useful but not required.

For Portsmouth, Rye, or another town in New Hampshire, Maine, or Massachusetts, send the location, group size, and a few possible dates. Roman will confirm availability and travel arrangements with your organization.

Join or host online.

An online session can bring together participants or staff without arranging travel. Tell Roman whether people will share a room and screen or join individually so the session can fit the group.

Include device availability, connection needs, and any accessibility accommodations you want to discuss. The free guides also work for self-directed learning if scheduling a session is not practical.

Build a session around the people you serve.

Libraries and community centers

A beginner introduction can combine a live example with time to try a prompt, ask questions, and save a result. Staff can use the printable resources for follow-up.

Shelters and reentry programs

Let participants choose a useful task without asking them to disclose their history. A fictional example is enough to practice writing a message or organizing next steps.

Youth and family programs

Discuss age-appropriate tools, account requirements, staff supervision, and the group’s needs before scheduling. The host and Roman can plan a suitable activity together.

Questions from hosts

Are these workshops really free?

Yes. The community workshops are free for nonprofits and the people they serve. There is no paid course to buy. Confirm session format, timing, and travel with Roman before announcing an event.

Are there scheduled public classes?

This page is for requesting a session with your organization. A location or date is only confirmed after you and Roman agree on it. You can use the online learning resources immediately.

What if participants do not have a phone or an AI account?

Tell Roman in advance. Shared devices, a demonstration, or working in pairs may fit your group. The beginner guide covers getting set up.

Can staff use the materials themselves?

Yes. Start with the printable sheets and hands-on demos. You can also request a session to walk staff through the material.
