Poll: Offering a free lecture on AI +Plus live Q&A?

Tristan from Tech2U NZ Ltd

Hi Neighbors,

AI is a massive topic right now, and I’m feeling inspired to share what I know with our local community. Whether you're a curious retiree, a busy professional, or just someone wondering what the fuss is about—all ages are welcome!

What we’d cover:
* The "Why": Why has AI become so big so quickly?
* Practical Use: Why are people so eager to learn it for daily life?
* Safety: Real talk about concerns and how to stay secure.
* Open Q&A: Bring your burning questions! I'll be there to discuss them with you and the group.

A bit about me:
I’ve spent 20+ years in tech, providing services for Fortune 25 companies, the Ministry of Defence, the NHS, and even Buckingham Palace. I’m now back home in NZ, running Tech2U, and I want to share my passion for tech with my neighbours in Whangaparāoa, Silverdale, and Orewa.

I need your help with planning:
I’m thinking one of our local libraries would be a great spot. What do you think? If you have a venue idea or want to let me know which suburb would be most convenient for you, please drop a comment below!

Warm regards,
Tristan Lee-Johnson

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
