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.

AI Sparring supports one person. In the AI Champions program, we prepare four to twelve colleagues over three sessions to build their own use cases and carry that knowledge into their departments.
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 Euro netto im Monat für einen Tag Kontingent, 2.000 Euro für zwei Tage. Ein Tag sind acht Stunden, die Sie frei in Termine aufteilen. Die Erreichbarkeit per Teams oder E-Mail zwischen den Terminen ist im Preis enthalten.
Einen Monat. Danach ist das Sparring monatlich kündbar, eine längere Bindung gibt es nicht. Wenn Ihre Fragen geklärt sind oder der Agent läuft, hören Sie zum Monatsende auf.
Ungenutzte Stunden können Sie einen Monat lang übertragen. Nutzen Sie im September nur fünf von acht Stunden, haben Sie im Oktober elf. Was dann noch übrig ist, verfällt, damit das Kontingent für beide Seiten planbar bleibt.
Für die Person, die im Betrieb für KI zuständig ist, ob als KI-Manager, als KI-Beauftragter oder ganz ohne Titel, und das oft als einzige im Haus. Am besten passt es nach einer Weiterbildung, wenn das Zertifikat da ist und die praktischen Fragen anfangen. Die Geschäftsführung kann bei einzelnen Terminen gern dabei sein.
Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf Microsoft 365 mit Copilot, Copilot Studio und Power Platform. Passt n8n bei Ihnen besser, etwa weil Sie ohne Microsoft 365 arbeiten oder selbst hosten wollen, sprechen wir darüber genauso. Ich empfehle das Werkzeug, das zu Ihrem Fall passt.
Meistens remote per Teams, weil sich kurze Termine so am leichtesten in den Arbeitstag schieben lassen. Vor-Ort-Termine sind möglich, zum Beispiel für einen Bau-Tag mit Ihrem Team. Dann kommen Reisekosten und Spesen hinzu, die nennen wir Ihnen vorab.
Nein. Eine laufende Begleitung als Monatskontingent ist in keinem Förderprogramm förderfähig, das sollten Sie vorher wissen. Sie zahlen also den vollen Monatspreis.
