WHAT WE DO
Test before choosing
The AI Workshop in St. Gallen 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 St. Gallen: classify requests for textile product variants. 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 · St. Gallen
On site in St. Gallen, remote across Switzerland
St. Gallen brings together the HSG university, known for management studies, and the head offices of a major insurer and a cooperative bank; its textile tradition runs from embroidery to technical textiles, and its SMEs export heavily to Germany and Austria.
St. Gallen is the capital of eastern Switzerland: the abbey and its library at the centre, the HSG university on the Rosenberg hill, the head office of a major insurer and of a cooperative bank, and an industrial tradition running from embroidery and technical textiles to machinery and packaging across the Rhine valley. St. Gallen SMEs export heavily, to Germany and Austria first, and handle technical and commercial files in German and English.
For these companies, use cases revolve around documentation: summarising a foreign supplier’s terms, preparing technical offers from a catalogue, structuring maintenance reports, or answering the recurring questions of brokers and policyholders. The training world, very present around the university and the colleges, brings requests for course material and literature summaries, with the necessary reservations about sources.
In St. Gallen, workshops take place on your premises, in the city, in Gossau, Wil or near the university; follow-up reviews run by video call, in German or English, and the reservations about sources are written into every instruction.

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