Test before choosing

The AI Workshop in Olten 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 Olten: classify exceptions in delivery tracking. 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.

Illustrative working example — not a client case

On site in Olten, remote across Switzerland

Switzerland's central railway node, Olten is also an industrial hub in the Solothurn region; transport services and manufacturing structure its economy more than tourism does.

Olten is first and foremost a station: the point where the Basel, Bern, Zurich and Lucerne lines cross, with the SBB industrial workshops, logistics centres and transport companies that chose the town for its position. Around it, the Solothurn plain and the Gäu host production sites, from food to chemicals, and distribution platforms; the old town on the Aare, the wooden bridge and the schools give Olten the life of a mid-sized town.

Olten’s requests touch on logistics and production: sorting and answering transport requests, preparing dispatch notices and customs documents from structured data, matching delivery notes with invoices, structuring operational incident reports. Volume is the real subject, and with it the control of exceptions, which AI must flag rather than resolve alone.

Olten’s centre is a few minutes’ walk from the station, which makes it a convenient meeting place for teams spread between Basel, Bern and Zurich: they can gather there for a shared half-day without anyone travelling more than an hour.

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 Olten?

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