AI workshops
for companies

Hands-on training on the EU AI Act, GDPR, AI literacy and prompt engineering. We build AI competence in your team, from compliance evidence to productive AI use. The trainers are the same people who advise clients and build AI systems with us.

EU AI Act GDPR AI Literacy Prompt Engineering

// Why now

The AI literacy duty

as the alternative cap

Since February 2025, Art. 4 of the EU AI Act has applied: companies that use AI systems must ensure that their employees have sufficient AI competence. This applies to every employee who works with AI, including those outside IT.

For prohibited AI practices, the regulation sets fines of up to EUR 35 million or 7% of worldwide annual turnover. The literacy obligation is binding law and belongs in any AI governance framework. Our workshops build the AI competence your company needs and make it demonstrable.

// Four workshop modules

What we
train

Module 01

EU AI Act Compliance

We cover risk classification, documentation obligations and conformity assessment. Your team understands the regulatory requirements and knows what has to be done by when.

Risk classes Documentation CE readiness
Module 02

GDPR & Data Protection

We cover data protection impact assessments, data processing agreements and data subject rights in an AI context, using your actual workflows.

DPIA DPA Data subject rights
Module 03

AI Literacy

What can AI do, and where are its limits? How do you spot hallucinations? Your team learns to assess AI output critically and use it responsibly.

Fundamentals Risk assessment Responsibility
Module 04

Prompt Engineering

We start with simple prompts and work up to multi-step workflows. Exercises are based on use cases from your own business.

Prompting Workflows Use cases

// Workshop process

How your
workshop runs

Step 1

Needs Analysis

We assess your team's AI maturity, identify knowledge gaps and define learning objectives, so the workshop fits your organisation.

Step 2

Custom Agenda

Based on the analysis, we build an agenda around your tools, processes and use cases.

Step 3

Live Training

Interactive training with hands-on sessions. Your people work on real scenarios from their day-to-day work.

Step 4

Follow-up

You receive documentation, a handout and a summary of the key content. A follow-up session after 4 weeks is available on request.

// Why us

Consulting and training
from one team

Fast start

Getting from the intro call through the needs analysis to the workshop usually takes only a few weeks.

Transparent pricing

Compact and Intensive have a fixed starting price that you know in advance. We price Enterprise formats by scope. Workshops are led by the people who design them. We do not staff them with juniors.

Close to your practice

Exercises use the tools and processes your team works with every day. Participants spend most of the time working hands-on themselves.

DACH regulatory expertise

We are based in Munich and know German law, the GDPR and the EU AI Act in detail. We can talk to your compliance department on its own terms.

// Formats

The right format
for your team

COMPACT
4 hours

A focused introduction to one topic for teams that want to get started quickly. The half day combines theory with first hands-on exercises.

from EUR 2,400
INTENSIVE Popular
8 hours
full day

A full day with in-depth hands-on sessions and time for your individual questions. A certificate of participation is included.

from EUR 4,200
ENTERPRISE
Multi-day

For larger organisations with multiple modules, tailored content and an optional train-the-trainer programme. Follow-up and support are included.

On request

// AI competence as strategy

Why AI workshops
for companies?

Teams that understand AI and know its limits use it more effectively and stay compliant. The technology is rarely the problem. More often, the team lacks AI competence.

// Competitive advantage

AI competence as a
competitive advantage

Many large companies already use AI in day-to-day operations, beyond pilot projects. Adoption in the DACH region is slower, yet the pressure keeps rising: companies that don't build AI into their processes lose speed and margin.

In our experience, the bottleneck is usually the team. ChatGPT, Copilot and Gemini are readily available. What is often missing is the ability to use them properly: with context, critical judgement and an understanding of limits and risks.

An AI workshop for companies is the start of a longer development. Teams learn more than individual prompts: they develop a way of working with AI that carries over to other areas, from marketing and HR to the executive board.

TEAM TRAINING Popular
8 hours
Full-day prompt engineering training

Hands-on for operational teams. Participants spend most of the day working with AI themselves. They write prompts and automate their own workflows with a GDPR-compliant tool stack. The prompt engineering workshop applies this directly to your team's real tasks.

AI ACT COMPLIANCE
4 hours
EU AI Act workshop for compliance teams

Regulation explained clearly. This EU AI Act workshop makes risk classes, documentation obligations and GDPR interfaces tangible. Afterwards your legal, compliance or IT team knows how to classify AI systems and what follows from that in practice.

// Concrete outcomes

What teams can do after
the AI training

After an AI training from AI Pirates, your teams have concrete skills they can apply on the next working day.

Structure prompts professionally: work systematically with role, context, format and clear constraints.

Critically assess AI outputs: spot hallucinations, judge quality and avoid relying on results blindly.

Work GDPR-compliant: which data may go into which tools, how data processing works, what stays internal.

Automate their own workflows: from content creation to data preparation, with measurable time savings.

Meet EU AI Act requirements: prove AI literacy under Art. 4, know and classify risk classes.

Communicate AI use internally: change management for AI, so the team adopts new tools and sceptical colleagues come along.

Build AI readiness in a structured way: with a roadmap, priorities and measurable milestones.

Prioritise and pilot use cases: identify which AI projects pay off and base decisions on that.

CERTIFICATE OF PARTICIPATION

Who are our
AI workshops for?

AI for companies concerns far more than the IT department. AI changes how people work in every function, from marketing and HR to the executive board. We tailor each format and focus to the audience in the room.

Management
Strategy, governance, ROI focus
Marketing

No format fits?

Every company has its own tools and its own risks. Our AI workshops for companies are always individually tailored. Whether a half-day introduction, a full-day AI training or a multi-module AI training programme with train-the-trainer: we develop the format together with you, based on a free intro call and a needs analysis. If you then want to introduce AI systems, the same team supports you with AI consulting and AI implementation.

// Next step

Ready for
AI-competent teams?

The intro call is free, and you speak directly with the people who will run the training. We assess your needs and recommend the right format.
