WHAT WE DO
Test before choosing
The AI Workshop in Thun 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 Thun: match a parts enquiry to a technical catalogue. 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 · Thun
On site in Thun, remote across Switzerland
On the shore of Lake Thun, the town combines established industrial sites (mechanics, defence, components), a large army base and summer tourism reaching into the Oberland.
Thun stands at the outlet of the lake, where the Aare leaves the Bernese Oberland: a castle, an arcaded old town, quays and, all around, an economy mixing long-established industrial sites, from mechanics and defence to energy components, a large army base, regional administrative offices, and summer tourism stretching to Spiez and Interlaken. Local retail and crafts live off this combination.
Thun SMEs live with technical files and seasonality: matching a spare-part enquiry to a catalogue, structuring inspection reports for a contractor, preparing answers to stay and group enquiries in several languages, or sorting the mail of a shop handling orders online and in store. AI prepares the answer or the list; the workshop or the front desk checks it before anything is sent.
The season also shapes the calendar of Thun’s SMEs: summer belongs to the lake and to Oberland visitors, winter to building sites, overhauls and the office work that had been postponed, and it is often between November and March that teams find time for a workshop.

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