Choose participants and set the workshop window
Decide who should take part, send the invites, and define how long they have to complete it. This can be a focused team or department slice, not a broad all-hands exercise.
Invite the people closest to the work. Each gets a private 30-minute session with an AI facilitator. No AI expertise required. You get one anonymized report with strong use cases, quick wins, and actionable next steps.
Decide who should take part, send the invites, and define how long they have to complete it. This can be a focused team or department slice, not a broad all-hands exercise.
The AI facilitator first understands how the person works day to day, then drills into specific tasks, examples, and opportunities where AI could help. They complete it on their own time within the workshop window.
Within 24 hours after the workshop closes, you get an anonymized synthesis with use cases, quick wins, and actionable next steps.
Shortened simulated sample for a Sales & Marketing department at a mid-sized industrial equipment company. This is not a real customer report.

The clearest near-term opportunities sit in customer and distributor follow-up, CRM hygiene, and reuse of technical product information across proposals and campaigns. The strongest first move is AI-assisted inquiry drafting because the team already works from recurring product questions, existing product material, and visible response-time pressure.
Draft first responses to quote requests, product questions, and distributor follow-ups using existing product and reference material.
Other highlighted use cases
PreviewBuilt for the questions legal, IT, or the works council will ask: GDPR, AI Act, hosting, deletion, and what managers can actually see.
Each person participates privately. Managers see a department summary only, not person-level reports, transcripts, or rankings.
Hosted on Hetzner in Germany. AI inference runs in AWS Bedrock Frankfurt.
Workshop data is deleted automatically 90 days after the participation window ends. Immediate deletion is available.
DPA, privacy notice, and processors list are public up front. Easy to forward to legal or IT.
The point is not to generate more AI talk. It is to get cleaner signal from the people closest to the work and make one better first decision without the overhead of a live workshop.
0
Buy seats, send invites. No calendar wrangling, room booking, or facilitator procurement.
30min
Short enough to get participation. Long enough to move past generic answers.
1:1
No anchoring from the first loud voice. People think independently before the synthesis groups the patterns.
1
One buyer-facing output with quick wins, blockers, and weaker bets separated.
A Better First Step
AI becomes approachable when the first move is manageable. Find one foothold, prove value quickly, and let the impact compound from there.
Live-workshop impact. Far less cost, effort, and coordination.
No subscription. Pay once. Auto-invoice with VAT.
Pay per seat. Happiness guarantee: full refund if it does not live up to expectations.
That is exactly why the format is private and the output is aggregated. People are usually more candid in a 1:1 session than in a manager-led group workshop.
No. Managers do not see transcripts, individual answers, or a report that maps comments back to specific people. The output is team-level only.
The workshop works just as well for technical as it does for non-technical teams. Participants only need to be experts in their own work. The AI facilitator handles the rest and helps translate day-to-day friction into concrete AI use cases.
No. Start with the people closest to the work. A smaller but relevant group may even produce better signal than broad but shallow participation. If you want to cover a larger team, split it into groups based on how they work and run a separate workshop for each, with a separate report each time.
One aggregated team report with recurring themes, prioritized use cases, quick wins, and recommended next steps. Delivered on the web, by PDF, and by email within 24 hours of workshop close.
You can use the report to move forward however you choose: internally, or with a partner of your choice. If you want support from us, v9Labs also has a dedicated follow-on offering to help you turn the strongest use case into a real next step.
This workshop was designed and built by v9Labs, an AI engineering consultancy based near Stuttgart, Germany. We help companies move from AI uncertainty to practical adoption: finding the right first use cases, building working systems, and rolling them out responsibly.
The idea grew out of our own work. In a positioning workshop, we were surprised by how useful AI became as a facilitator: asking deeper questions, giving critical pushback, and reconciling different perspectives with both empathy and analytical clarity. Since then, AI-facilitated workshops have become one of our go-to tools for complex internal decisions.
Use case discovery has the same shape: many perspectives, unclear starting points, and a high risk of staying too abstract. This workshop turns that messy first step into a guided, efficient format so your team can find where AI could create value, one concrete use case at a time.
