Need to Boost AI Adoption?

Aloha,

Are you just scratching the surface with AI, using it only for basic tasks when it could be transforming your entire workflow?

This underutilization leads to missed opportunities for enhancing your operations and decision-making processes, keeping your productivity from reaching its full potential.

Sticking to the basics means you're not tapping into the vast capabilities AI has to offer — capabilities that could significantly streamline your work and amplify your effectiveness.

Exactly one year ago, I discovered the concept of AI Hackathons, where in 72h we built the first version of AI-Mentor. AI Hackathons provide a practical, engaging way to learn about and implement AI solutions.

You don’t need to have programming skills - hackathons allow participants to build custom, no-code AI tools (eg. AI-Assistants), that address specific challenges within your workflows or boost productivity 12x.

Since January, I hosted five hackathons (for consultants, and knowledge workers), with 400 participants. Quotes from past participants speak for themselves - people love to get involved, innovate, and build!

• “I can’t stop - I will do it for the whole day.”

• “I am flying here!”

• It was terrific, and I received great feedback from the guys.”

These sessions work because they:

• Break down the complexities of AI into understandable, actionable parts.

• Provide a real-world application of AI, showing immediate benefits.

• Build a community of practice, reducing fear and resistance to new technologies.

Plan and host a ~2-hour virtual hackathon where your team can collaboratively develop AI solutions tailored to your operational needs using no-code platforms like AI-Mentor or Zapier Central. An example agenda:

• Keynote on AI-Assistants: Discover the transformative role of AI in change management and training.

• AI Readiness Check: Evaluate your readiness to integrate AI into your workflow with AI Score Framework.

• AI-Assistants in Action: Dive into real-life success stories and explore diagnostic tools across various project phases.

• Hands-on Building Session: Create your own AI-Assistant, such as a Productivity Partner or Report Creator, tailored to your daily needs.

• Q&A and Networking: Connect with experts, clarify your doubts, and network with peers ready to embrace AI.

By engaging in this hands-on experience, your team will:

• Gain practical skills in AI application.

• Enhance their daily productivity through bespoke AI tools.

• Foster a proactive, innovative work culture that embraces technological advances.
