WHAT WE DO
Test before choosing
The AI Workshop in Neuchâtel 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 Neuchâtel: summarise an inspection report for precision parts. 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 · Neuchâtel
On site in Neuchâtel, remote across Switzerland
The cradle of watchmaking and microtechnology: CSEM and EPFL’s Microcity site are in town, the manufactures in the Neuchâtel mountains; many SMEs are precision subcontractors.
Neuchâtel faces the lake and turns its back on the mountains where time is made: the canton is the cradle of watchmaking and microtechnology, with CSEM and the EPFL hub at Microcity in town, the manufactures and their subcontractors in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Le Locle and the Val-de-Travers, and a fabric of bar-turning, surface-treatment and assembly workshops that also supply the medical sector. Precision is a culture here; technical documentation, routings and inspection reports are daily business.
The use cases of Neuchâtel SMEs resemble their trade: finding an instruction in production documentation, preparing a supplier qualification file, structuring a non-conformity report, translating a notice into English or German for an exporting customer. AI helps to draft and to cross-check; the dimension, the tolerance and the release decision stay in the hands of the quality manager.

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 Neuchâtel?
A half-day or full day depending on the participants and exercises. Location, any travel and scope are agreed before confirmation.
