Join us as Thorsten breaks down how everyday people – small business owners, retirees, hobbyists, and anyone who isn’t a developer – can use AI to get real things done without writing a single line of code.
Thorsten runs an AI roundtable for small and medium businesses in Germany and shares hands-on use cases from his own life and clients: a family recipe database built entirely on a mobile phone, 13 months of fitness data analyzed into actionable coaching, a personal AI project manager that reads his calendar and meeting transcripts, and real-world implementations for a dental practice and a tax advisory firm. You will learn how to think about AI as a team you never had, why prompts are the new apps, how to handle privacy and data regulations, and how to start this week with just one task.
