AI Sparring is for AI managers and AI officers who are expected to introduce AI in their company after their training. Every month you get one or two days with me, split however suits you into individual sessions, and reach me in between by Teams or email. Bring the questions the course didn't cover: licenses, permissions, which agent for what.
The course covered prompts and the legal framework. Back at the company, every question lands on your desk, and there's no one in-house to talk a decision through with beforehand.
You decide the topics. These six come up again and again with AI leads, each with an example from my projects.
An AI strategy on slides helps little as long as it's unclear which use case comes first. We sort your list by benefit and feasibility and cut what only sounds good. For a fire protection company, the plausibility check on travel expenses ended up on top: fixed rules, recurring every month.
Impact A first candidate instead of a list of ideasWe build in your environment, you hold the mouse. That's how a medical device supplier ended up with an agent in Copilot Studio that answers article and stock queries from Dataverse. We tested it with the questions actually asked in daily work.
Impact You can maintain the agent yourself afterwardWho may use which tool with which data, who approves a new agent, and how do you document AI competence under Article 4 of the AI Act? The policy should fit on two pages so it actually gets read. Approval paths are nothing new here: for the invoice workflow on SharePoint for a social services provider, who approves what was part of it from the start.
Impact Rules that land with the teamCopilot for everyone, for some, or not yet at all? Is Copilot Studio enough, or does the case need Power Automate with premium connectors? For a large corporation, we built a canvas app on SharePoint, and the question of which license was needed for whom came up as one of the first.
Impact Buy licenses only once the case is settledYou can't carry AI through the whole company alone. We work out who in which department is interested and what they need to be able to do. In my hands-on workshops, for example in the format of an innovation hub, everyone works with the software they also use in daily operations.
Impact Points of contact within the departmentsIf a proposal for an agent or a Copilot rollout is on the table, we read it together: what's included, what's missing, what license costs come on top? A small test before the big contract often helps, like the proof of concept with Power Apps I built for a publisher.
Impact A second opinion before signingThe focus is on Microsoft 365. Where another tool fits better, I'll say so.
AgentsIn Copilot Studio, we build agents in the sparring with knowledge from SharePoint, actions via Power Automate, and publishing in Teams. If you'd rather hand off the whole build, we take that on as a project too.
Microsoft 365Before your own agents arrive, Copilot in Outlook, Word, and Teams should have become part of daily work. How to plan the rollout and how to tell whether it's working is often something we clarify in the first session already.
Without MicrosoftIf your company doesn't run on Microsoft 365 or data needs to stay on your own server, n8n is often the better path. The questions in the sparring stay the same, only the tool changes.
You pay a fixed amount, €1,000 or €2,000 net per month. How you spread the hours is up to you.
In the first session, we define what should be achieved by the end of the month, for example a licensing decision, an agent in testing, or a policy in draft. That's what we measure the month against.
One hour every week or two half-days in a row, both work. We work via Teams with a shared screen or on-site with you.
You send me quick questions via Teams or email instead of waiting a week for the next session. Many questions can be answered in three sentences, no session needed for that.
At the end of the month you get a short note: what's done, what's open, and what's next. You can pass it straight on to your management.
You book a fixed allowance, not open-ended hours. What you don't use in one month, you carry into the next.

An AI agent in 5 days, handed over ready to use: Agent Sprint with Copilot Studio for 5.000 € net fixed price.
In the free intro call, we clarify in 30 minutes where you stand and whether a sparring month will move you forward. It's non-binding, and if a single consulting day is enough, I'll tell you so.
€1,000 net per month for one day of contingent, or €2,000 for two days. One day is eight hours, which you can divide into appointments as you see fit. Availability via Teams or email between appointments is included in the price.
One month. After that, the sparring can be canceled monthly, and there is no longer-term commitment. Once your questions are answered or the agent is running, you can stop at the end of the month.
You can carry over unused hours for one month. If you only use five of your eight hours in September, you will have eleven in October. Anything left over after that expires, so that the contingent remains predictable for both sides.
For the person in the business who is responsible for AI, whether as AI manager, AI officer or with no title at all, and often the only one in the company with this role. It fits best after training, once the certificate is in hand and the practical questions begin. Management is welcome to join individual sessions.
The focus is on Microsoft 365 with Copilot, Copilot Studio and Power Platform. If n8n is a better fit for you, for example because you work without Microsoft 365 or want to self-host, we will discuss that just as readily. I recommend the tool that suits your case.
Mostly remotely via Teams, because short sessions are easiest to fit into the working day that way. On-site appointments are possible, for example for a build day with your team. In that case, travel costs and expenses apply, which we will tell you about in advance.
No. Ongoing support as a monthly contingent is not eligible under any funding program, which you should know in advance. You would therefore pay the full monthly price.
