Promptathon: AI Prompt Engineering Workshop

AI Prompt Engineering | Empowered AI | AI in Practice

Productive AI use after just one workshop

Many teams are experimenting with AI. Only a few integrate it into their day-to-day work in a structured and scalable way. The difference is not access to tools, but understanding how to prompt correctly, use AI sensibly and trust results. Being able to instruct AI tools clearly and precisely is therefore a key skill today. This is exactly what your team will learn in just one day at the Promptathon.

Plan your individual Promptathon

Why good prompting is harder than it seems

Following initial experiments with AI, many companies are seeing a similar pattern, as statements from participants in our AI webinars show:

  • “We’ve tried ChatGPT, but the results are inconsistent.”
  • “Nobody really knows how to use AI in their own job.”
  • “We have tools, but no real use.”
  • “We need structure instead of blind trial and error.”

Many AI trainings fail because they remain either too theoretical or too generic.

What is a Promptathon?

A Promptathon is a structured, hands-on AI workshop where your team:

  • understands how prompting really works
  • applies AI directly to its own tasks
  • develops concrete, immediately usable prompts
  • learns to confidently assess opportunities, limitations and risks

It combines the intensity of a hackathon with targeted AI enablement. No unnecessary theory, but knowledge that can be applied directly.
