AI Workshop

AI Hackathon for Companies

Your team builds a working prototype from real company data in a facilitated sprint, instead of talking about AI in a seminar. The entry point is often the AI workshop, one day onsite on one focused problem. Need more, you scale straight up into this multi-day Corporathon hackathon. We plan scope, challenges, roles, data, tool access and the run of show so your hackathon can be ready to start within one week. What ships and when depends on the agreed scope.

  • Real prototypes instead of slides
  • Facilitated by AI practitioners
  • Ready to run within a week
  • Documented handoff included

The market is shifting from chatbots to agents. Teams need application, not another slide deck.

Starting point

What goes wrong with training in the AI era

Lectures and slide decks create knowledge on paper. A hundred employees who actually run AI in daily work move a company further than a thousand where only ten do. That is exactly what the AI workshop is built for, one day where teams build real work output with the tools they will keep using.

Little

Knowledge retention

With passive learning, often little of the content sticks. Lectures and webinars fizzle out because participants never get hands-on.

Often

No application

Many training participants do not apply what they learned in their daily work. The gap between theory and practice is too wide.

Open

Hard-to-see value

Classic training often delivers no directly visible output. No prototype, no tool, no workflow, just a proof of participation. For CFOs and budget owners a nightmare, because they approve budget for something whose impact can't be proven.

Comparison

In the age of AI only a hands-on learning approach counts

From workshop to hackathon

Three formats, one principle, build instead of listen.

The entry point is Spark, the one day AI workshop. Need more, move on to the multi-day Corporathon hackathon with Ignite or Blaze. Every format is all-inclusive, we prepare, facilitate and document. Pricing on request.

From chatbots to agents

The challenge

Many teams only use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini as a chatbot. The age of agents is here, but nothing of it lands in daily work.

What happens in the hackathon

In the hackathon the team builds its first real agent: with tools, data access and a workflow that runs without prompt copy-paste.

From tool tests to prototypes

The challenge

Licenses bought, trainings done, pilots ending in slides. What's missing is something that actually runs in operations.

What happens in the hackathon

One week, one scope: the biggest time sink becomes a working prototype with an owner, a metric and an IT handoff.

From lone champions to a team

The challenge

A few enthusiasts push AI, everyone else waits. Knowledge stays with individuals and adoption stalls after the kickoff.

What happens in the hackathon

Teams build themselves, document their solution and become internal champions who start the next use case without us.

Deliverables

Pre-scoping with per-team challenge design, a curated tool stack per challenge including access, a facilitated build sprint with support throughout, at least one working prototype per team, a handoff document per prototype with owner, access, open risks, acceptance criterion and next step, and documentation of the AI literacy measure for participants.

Our process

Next steps to your AI workshop.

Day 0 · Discovery Call

We clarify what leadership wants to achieve, which teams take part and where the AI journey goes.

Day 0 · Tool Setup

We check existing licences and handle the rest: access, environments and test accounts.

Day 0 · Challenge Design

We align agenda, tech stack and concrete challenges together with your team leads.

Day 0 · Preparation

Full prep on our side: logistics, participant list and challenge briefs are final.

Day 1 · AI Workshop

Your team builds, we facilitate table by table. By the end of the day the first prototype runs.

Afterward · Handoff

Presentation, documentation and setup instructions so IT can integrate and the team can own it. If the problem runs deeper, next comes the hackathon.

Output, not slides

A hackathon is not a seminar. It is a facilitated sprint where teams rebuild real work with AI.

FAQ

Questions that should be clear before the first call.

The hackathon AI hackathon, with the AI workshop (Spark, one day onsite) as the entry point. Hands on, real data, a working prototype.

For agencies, tech scaleups, digital natives, mid-market and enterprise. Business teams without coding skills are explicitly included. We tailor challenges and format to size and goal, from five to over fifty participants.

One day to five days depending on format. Spark is the AI workshop and runs one day onsite, Ignite two days, Blaze three to five. The run-up with intro call, tools call, data approval and prep fits into the same week, so you can be ready to start within one week.

At least one working prototype per team, a handoff document and a documented AI literacy measure.

No. Business teams build with AI tools without traditional coding. We pick the stack so the challenge is solvable without prior knowledge.

The hackathon can document a practical AI literacy measure and support Article 4, but it is not an official attestation and does not guarantee automatic compliance. The company must assess the overall program by role and risk.

There is no proof of participation at the end, there is a working result: built workflows that keep running in daily operations.

Usually one week: scoping call, use-case selection, access and tool setup. After that the sprint is ready to run.

You decide which data enters the sprint. Access, privacy and boundaries are agreed upfront and we only work with approved material.

You do. Prototypes, automations, workflows, prompts and generated code belong to your company after the sprint.

We work with the stack that fits you: LLM APIs, automation and data platforms, and your existing systems.
