"An all-in-one style consultation. Nicolai guides me through the sessions in an appreciative and constructive manner, makes the results available digitally immediately afterwards and brings all the tools with him without me having to worry about them as a customer. This is very efficient and creates added value. It was also a lot of fun."

"It was cool to brainstorm with Nicolai about the use of AI in our development pipeline... ...The first successes and efficiency gains are already apparent (after 4 weeks)!"

Daniel Wolpert 

Founder Wikomove

"Many thanks for the professional introduction to the AI tools and ChatGPT. The informal challenges were tailored to the target group of trainers and coaches and helped them to understand the possibilities as real accelerators in everyday training. In addition to highlighting the opportunities, there was also a critical look at the risks. A successful event with a highly professional trainer. Thank you, Nicolai!"
