WHAT WE DO
Test before choosing
The AI Workshop in Arbon lets your team test practical tasks with anonymised documents and choose a useful first experiment. Participants leave with a working method and review criteria before buying or building a solution.
01START WITH A REAL TASK
Example to discuss in Arbon: summarise industrial after-sales service requests. During the workshop, participants use an anonymised sample, write an instruction and compare two outputs against their own reference. The outcome is a decision about usefulness and the checks required, rather than a deployment.

WHY THIS MATTERS HERE · Arbon
On site in Arbon, remote across Switzerland
Arbon is on Lake Constance in Thurgau. For the after-sales scenario proposed here, start with an anonymised technical enquiry and a product sheet: the team must verify part references and compatibility.
Arbon is a small industrial town on Lake Constance, in Thurgau: the former Saurer site, which built trucks and looms, has become a district of companies and housing, and mechanics, textile machinery and automotive components remain present, alongside suppliers of the Thurgau food industry and lakeside hospitality. Arbon’s SMEs look towards St. Gallen, Romanshorn and Germany, across the water.
Arbon’s requests are those of production and after-sales companies: matching a parts enquiry with a product sheet and checking compatibility, preparing manuals and technical sheets in German and English, structuring complaints and returns, or answering a hotel’s stay enquiries in season. The reference and compatibility of a part remain checked by the team; AI prepares the answer and flags what is missing.
The harbour, the promenade and the castle give Arbon a resort feel, but the economy remains that of a converted factory town: the brick buildings now house engineering offices, workshops and a college, and SMEs there often work for German or Austrian contractors.

QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START
Before the first conversation
Do participants need prior AI experience?
No. Exercises are adapted to the starting level. A shareable document and a real task are enough to prepare a useful session.
What can we decide after the workshop?
You can select a limited trial, its owner and success criteria. Connecting business systems requires separate scoping.
What format is available in Arbon?
A half-day or full day depending on the participants and exercises. Location, any travel and scope are agreed before confirmation.
