General
What does AI Værk do?
We help small and mid-sized businesses bring AI into real workflows: workshops, training, strategy, internal chatbots, automations, and custom software.
Who is this for?
For managing directors, departments and teams in small and mid-sized businesses. We adapt advice, training and implementation to your tasks and existing experience.
Where does AI Værk work?
Across Europe, remotely and on site. Our team is based in Schleswig-Holstein, Potsdam, Malmö and Stockholm, and we take on projects beyond those regions.
Does AI Værk also handle technical implementation?
We also build what we recommend: internal chatbots, automations, web applications, and integrations. That means consulting and implementation don't have to be organised separately.
First call
How does a first call work?
30 minutes by phone, email, or video call. We listen, ask about workflows, data, and goals, and tell you honestly whether AI makes sense for you right now.
What happens after the first call?
If it's a fit, we suggest a next step, such as a workshop, an assessment, a roadmap, or a sprint. You decide after each step whether to continue.
What does the first call cost?
The first call is free. We discuss your situation and assess whether and how we can help. You then decide on the next step.
Workshops
Do we need prior AI knowledge?
No. Our workshops are designed for decision-makers and teams without a technical background. We meet you where you are, whether you already use ChatGPT or have never worked with it.
How long does a workshop take?
From two hours (primer workshop) to a full day. The right format depends on your team and your goals. More about our formats
Remote or on site?
Both work. Many teams prefer on-site workshops for the hands-on exercises, but remote works just as well.
What is the ideal number of participants?
Between 2 and 40 people. For larger groups we adapt the format, for example with parallel breakout sessions.
Strategy & Implementation
How long until we see results?
It depends on the scope. After a workshop, your team has its first routines and rules. Strategy projects deliver a roadmap in 2 to 4 weeks. Implementation projects run in short cycles, so something can be tested early.
Who develops and integrates the solution?
AI Værk handles development and integration: internal assistants, automation, web applications and interfaces. Where needed, we work with your internal IT team and selected specialists; technical responsibility stays with us. More about custom development
Which technologies does AI Værk use?
It depends on the project. We prefer European infrastructure and openly available tools that can be properly audited. What matters is what fits your data, systems, and operational requirements.
Costs & Funding
What does an AI workshop cost?
It depends on the format and team size. A first call is always free. That's where we work out which format fits you and give you a realistic price range.
Is funding available for AI projects?
Yes. Depending on your country and the type of project, various public funding programmes exist. Happy to look at what applies to you in the first call.
Do we have to sign long-term contracts?
No. Each step is agreed separately, with no subscription and no minimum term. You decide afterwards whether to continue.
Data Protection & Technology
Is this GDPR-compliant?
Yes, if it is set up properly. Data protection is part of the architecture, the tool selection, and the internal rules. We prefer European infrastructure.
Do we need our own servers or infrastructure?
No. We take care of the technical infrastructure. Depending on the project, we use cloud solutions or set everything up on your existing infrastructure.
