Transforming your challenges into AI use cases

What is a challenge?

A challenge is a specific business challenge in your company where AI could potentially offer added value. It is about real problems or optimization potential from your day-to-day work - from increasing efficiency in processes to the use of unused data to the automation of recurring tasks. Your challenge should be specific enough to develop initial solutions in a one-hour session, but also relevant enough to create real business value.

Examples of challenges:

  • How can we increase the efficiency of our sales processes so that we spend less time on admin and have more time with customers?
  • How can we improve quality control in production through AI-supported image analysis?
  • How can we make internal knowledge databases more efficiently accessible through semantic search?

How to submit a challenge?

Simply use the form at the end of this page and add your challenge in the appropriate field. The most interesting challenges will be selected and used in a co-working session.
