Prompt-a-thon: Understanding and trying out AI in the trade

What can artificial intelligence really achieve in everyday trade – between the workshop, construction site and office?
In this prompt-a-thon, you can try out Generative AI in practice. Without prior knowledge and without technical blah-blah. You will work in small teams on typical tasks from trade businesses and test how AI can help with offers, customer communication, organization or idea generation.
What is a prompt-a-thon?
A prompt-a-thon is similar to a hackathon – but without the programming. Instead of machines or code, it’s about the right inputs (“prompts”) for AI tools such as well-known language models. You will experience how results change, how reliable AI is and where you need to look closely in the craft.
