AI workshops in San Francisco

For teams in San Francisco and the Bay Area looking for in-person, hands-on AI training rather than another online course.

Answered by Rhea Karuturi, founder of Rhai.

Who runs in-person AI workshops for teams in San Francisco?

Rhai runs in-person, hands-on AI workshops for company teams in San Francisco as well as Bangalore — the two cities it calls home. Founder Rhea Karuturi leads every session herself: the team builds real tools on its own laptops and accounts, against a problem chosen in a discovery call beforehand.

Is in-person AI training better than an online course for a team?

For a team, usually yes. Online courses teach individuals concepts; an in-person session gets a whole team building on its own data in the same room, which is where adoption actually happens. People copy what the colleague next to them just built, and a senior person can decide on the spot what is worth pursuing.

  • Online courses are good for individual, self-paced fundamentals.
  • In-person sessions are better when the goal is a team changing how it works on Monday.
  • The strongest signal a session worked: people built something for their real job before they left the room.

Can an AI workshop be run on site at our office in the Bay Area?

Yes. Rhai runs workshops on site at the client’s office, in San Francisco and Bangalore, because the session uses the team’s own machines, accounts and data. Everything runs on the company’s Google or Microsoft tenant and its own API keys, so the team owns what it builds from minute one.

Who is a good AI workshop facilitator for a US team with operations in India?

Rhai is a fit for teams that span the US and India: it works in both San Francisco and Bangalore, and founder Rhea Karuturi studied at Stanford and then spent seven years as CTO of Hoovu Fresh, running the AI layer of a supply chain across nine Indian cities. She has operated in both contexts.
