We come to you. Everyone works on their own computer, and when someone gets stuck we help at their desk.
Online
The same agenda, live. When you get stuck you share your screen and we work through it together. You need a stable connection; a second monitor helps.

Dates
The next public date is being prepared.
Leave us your e-mail and you will be the first to know. A workshop for a team is arranged around you.
Price
What it costs
We send you the price within 24 hours.
The price does not include the server or the AI models. You pay those directly to the providers, typically a few tens of euros a month.
For teams we price by the number of people. Request a quote
What you need
What to bring
Six hours is enough only if your accounts exist beforehand. We send you the list before the workshop.
A computer
Windows or macOS, on which you are allowed to install software.
A phone with Telegram
Telegram installed and signed in before we start.
A payment card
You pay for the server and for AI model usage directly to the providers, not to us.
A Google account and e-mail
A Google account for NotebookLM, and an e-mail inbox you can reach during the day.
Online, a connection
Stable internet and the ability to share your screen. A second monitor helps.
Six hours in your calendar
From 9:00 to 15:00 with no other meetings. Each block builds on the one before.
You do not need to program. Every step has the exact command to copy. If you can use e-mail and a phone, that is enough.

After the workshop
After the workshop you are not on your own.
In the Club you carry on at your own pace: guides to further set-ups, and questions right at each part of a guide that I answer personally. The agent grows, and you with it.
Questions
What people ask before the workshop.
+–Can I cancel?
Yes. Up to 7 days before the date we refund the full amount. After that we do not refund, but we move your seat to another date free of charge.
+–What if something will not install?
That is what a day with a trainer is for. When something gets stuck, we solve it together right away: online by sharing your screen, on-site at your desk. If something breaks after the workshop, the Club picks it up.
+–Will I get a recording?
No. The workshop is a hands-on day, not a lecture: you leave with an agent that runs, not with a video.
+–Can I get an invoice to my company?
Yes. When signing up, tick "invoice to a company" and fill in the company name, company ID and VAT number. The invoice arrives by e-mail right after payment.
+–How many people are on one date?
At most 12 on a public date, so the trainer gets to everyone. A workshop for your team is arranged by the number of people.
+–What language is the workshop in?
The language is shown with each date. For a team workshop we agree on it together.
We will prepare the workshop for your team, or just for you
If you are not sure it is for you, write to us and we will go through it together.
