Play: a workshop
AI training that ends with your tools running.
The AI workshop is one working day for a team of up to six: learn in the morning and build in the afternoon, on your own documents. The day ends with working tools and one person who keeps them in use for the next month.

In one sentence
What is the AI workshop?
One working day for up to six people: three hours of learning in the morning and three hours of building in the afternoon, all on your own material.
-
Who it is for
A small team that shares material and a process, and has one recurring piece of work it wants to change.
-
The problem
Most AI training borrows examples from other companies, and on Monday nothing changes.
-
What changes
The day ends with working tools and one person who keeps them in use for the next month.
What you leave with
What stays with the team.
-
Working tools
Built and tested in the afternoon on your own examples.
-
The skills, with your changes
The small AI routines prepared for your material, as your team changed them on the day.
-
A written pilot plan
What to watch while the tools are used on ordinary work for a month.
-
A pilot owner
One named person who joins the sprint and keeps the tools in use for the month after.
How the day runs
Four stops, from the call before to the month after.
-
Before the day
Preparation call
We pick the workflow and the documents. Then I prepare skills: small reusable AI routines for your material.
-
Morning, three hours
The workshop
The AI themes you chose, with every example taken from your own work.
-
Afternoon, three hours
The sprint
Everyone builds from the prepared skills and tests each tool on your own examples.
-
The month after
The pilot
One named person, who joins the sprint, uses the tools on ordinary work with a plan for what to watch.
What it looks like
Pick a workflow and follow the day.
This day runs on your own material.
What you are looking at Pick one of 4 example workflows, and each stop of the day shows what it would look like for that work. The examples are fictional.

Before the day
Preparation call
We pick the workflow and the documents. Then I prepare skills: small reusable AI routines for your material.
Bring last quarter's briefs and the brand guidelines.
Bring your ideal customer description, a few recently won deals and the CRM fields the team trusts.
Bring a report you already send every month and the exports behind it.
Bring the current plan and the questions the board keeps asking.
-
Morning, three hours
The workshop
The AI themes you chose, with every example taken from your own work.
How a model reads a brief, and where it starts making things up.
What AI research gets right quickly, and what a person has to check every time.
Working with numbers, and the places where a model should never be trusted alone.
AI as a sparring partner for a plan, good at finding gaps and bad at making the call.
-
Afternoon, three hours
The sprint
Everyone builds from the prepared skills and tests each tool on your own examples.
A skill that turns a brief into a first draft in your brand voice and marks what it is unsure of.
A skill that turns public information and your own notes into a one-page prep for a first call.
A skill that drafts the monthly commentary from the export and ties every figure back to its source.
A skill that reads a draft plan against your own criteria and lists the open questions.
-
The month after
The pilot
One named person, who joins the sprint, uses the tools on ordinary work with a plan for what to watch.
The content lead owns it, and for a month every new brief starts in the tool.
One account manager owns it and uses it before every first call.
Whoever sends the report today owns the pilot, starting with next month's edition.
The person who writes the plan owns it through the next planning cycle.
You keep the working tools, the skills with your team's changes and a written pilot plan.
What to bring
What the day needs from you.
-
The material for one workflow
The documents the team already uses for it, such as briefs, a report or a plan. We pick them on the preparation call.
-
The person who will run the pilot
They join the sprint and own the tools for the month after.
-
If you can, someone who decides
Someone with the authority to change how the workflow runs on a normal Tuesday, so the tool does not end up as a demo.
-
An agreed list of material and software
Only what we agree before the day comes in. Anything sensitive stays out, or a realistic sample takes its place.
Is it a fit?
Who the day is for.
A good fit when
- A small team builds together Up to six people who share material and a process.
- One piece of work should change A recurring task the team wants to do differently.
- Someone keeps it going One person will keep the tools in use for a month.
Better as something else
- A keynote for the whole company That is a different job. This day only works when everyone builds.
- Strategy workshop When the team first needs to agree on a direction.See the strategy workshop
- Marketing + AI Audit If nobody can say yet where AI belongs in the business.How the Marketing + AI Audit works

- Which tools are approved, what data never goes into them and who checks what the AI writes.
Questions
What teams ask before the day.
Do we need technical experience?
No. The preparation call tells me where the team starts, and the day is shaped around that. If the team mixes daily AI users with people who have barely opened it, the afternoon puts them on the same piece of work.
What happens to our data?
Only the material and the software we agree on before the day come in. Anything sensitive stays out, or a realistic sample takes its place. If your company has no AI rules yet, the preparation call is a good moment to write the first ones: which tools are approved, what data never goes into them and who checks what the AI writes before a customer sees it.
What happens after the day?
For the next month the pilot owner uses the tools on ordinary work, with a plan that says what to watch. The pilot shows whether one good tool was enough or the workflow around it has to change too. That is when a bigger project or an AI role in the leadership team can make sense, and you decide that later.
How is it priced?
There is no published rate card. After a 30-minute discovery call you get a fixed quote in writing within two working days.
Does the day count toward AI literacy under the EU AI Act?
Article 4 of the EU AI Act asks companies that use AI to take measures that support AI literacy among their staff. Since Regulation (EU) 2026/1744 amended it in July 2026, it is an obligation of effort, and no certificate or approved course settles it on its own. A working day on your own material is one reasonable measure, so keep a record of it. For anything beyond that, ask your legal adviser.
