AI Kickstart · at your business
Your team learns to use AI. And your first task runs by itself.
AI Kickstart is an AI training for SME teams of up to 8 people, on your premises. You do not need to be technical, and the 30-minute intake beforehand is free.
The programme
One day in five parts.
We start with the question of what AI actually is, you get to work yourself and we end with agreements for tomorrow. In the full day we also set up one task together. In the intake we tune the examples and the task to your work.
- 09:001.5 hours
What actually is AI?
How AI comes up with an answer, why it sometimes says nonsense with great confidence, and what it is good at. Live, with examples from your own work.
- 10:451.5 hours
Getting started with ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot
Everyone does something on their own work: an email, a summary, a quote. You go home with questions you can reuse in ChatGPT or Copilot.
- 13:001 hour
Using AI safely and sensibly
What is and is not allowed in a chatbot (customer data, GDPR), how you spot AI mistakes, and a first AI policy for your company.
- 14:151.5 hours
Getting one task to run together
The task we chose in the intake, for example orders from email into Exact. We set it up together and by the end of the day it runs.
- 16:0045 min
What will we do differently tomorrow?
Two or three concrete uses per department, with agreements on who picks up what. So it does not stay a nice day.
A half day? Then we do the first two parts, with a short version of the third. The task is only part of the full day.
After the day
This is what you have after the day.
After the full day one task is already running. After that you carry on at your own pace: yourself, with us or with a partner.
A team that knows how AI works
Everyone knows what AI can do, where it goes wrong and what does not belong in it, and gets a certificate of attendance.
Questions you can reuse, and a first AI policy
A set of questions for ChatGPT or Copilot that fit your work, and agreements on how you use AI.
One task that runs by itself, and an overview you understand
Full day only. The task reads your email, for example, and puts the result in your own system. You see what happened, and if something goes wrong, you get a message.
Changing things yourself comes later
Want to change something yourself later? You can, in plain words, with an AI assistant such as Claude. Or you let us do it.
Why now
Your people already use AI. But do they use it well?
Do your people use ChatGPT or Copilot? Since February 2025 you must make sure they know how to do that safely. That is in Article 4 of the EU AI Act. This training counts towards it (source: EUR-Lex).
Anyone who understands how AI works gets more out of it and makes fewer mistakes. After the training your team knows what AI can do, where it goes wrong and what does not belong in it.
Who comes
Lisanne Bleiksch gives the training.
- Co-founder of Codemation
- Physics and astronomy
- Machine learning in particle physics
Lisanne is co-founder of Codemation and gives the training herself. She comes from physics and astronomy and did a machine-learning project in particle physics. So she knows how AI works under the hood, and explains it to your team without jargon, in Dutch or English. We make the software the tasks run on ourselves, so we also know where AI goes wrong.
Codemation is a Dutch company that teaches SME teams to work with AI and automates their work.

Questions we often get
Questions about the day
What does an AI training for our team cost?
AI Kickstart costs € 1,150 excl. VAT for a half day (training) and € 1,950 excl. VAT for a full day (training plus one task that runs by itself, with a guarantee), for up to 8 people on your premises. The 30-minute intake beforehand is free. The full day also includes 30 days of questions by email.
What is the difference between the half and the full day?
The half day is training only: how AI works, how you use it yourself and what is and is not allowed. The full day is that training plus one task from your own work that we set up together in the afternoon, and that runs when we leave. The guarantee covers the full day.
What does it cost after the training?
After the training you only pay if you let the process keep running: do it yourself from € 29 a month, or we do it for you from € 249 a month plus a one-off setup. No annual contract. In the intake we tell you which plan fits.
Where does it run, and what happens to our data?
The process reads your email and puts the result in your own system, such as Exact, Odoo or AFAS. It runs on our platform in the EU and you can stop every month. Your data stays yours.
My team has never worked with AI. Is that a problem?
No, that is exactly what this training is for. AI Kickstart is for SME teams of up to 8 people without technical knowledge. We start from zero, in a half or full day on your premises, and by the end everyone has done something with AI themselves.
What is AI literacy, and is it mandatory?
It is the term in the AI Act for: your employees know how AI works, what it can do and where it goes wrong. It applies to organisations that use AI, since 2 February 2025. The source is under Why now.
Does this count for the AI Act?
Yes, the training is a measure as Article 4 of the AI Act asks for. Everyone gets a certificate of attendance and you get an overview of who followed what. You can keep that overview as support; a legally recognised certificate does not exist for this.
Which AI tools do you use?
We work with what you already have or want to start using: ChatGPT, Claude or Microsoft Copilot. The explanation applies to all three, so your team learns how AI works in general, and every participant practises with the tool your company prefers.
Can more than 8 people join?
More people? We talk it through, or we split the group, so everyone really gets a turn and the quality stays high.
What do we need on the day?
AI Kickstart takes place on your premises, for up to 8 people. You provide a room with a screen, wifi and a laptop for each participant. We bring the rest, including the programme, the examples and the exercises. The 30-minute intake beforehand is free.
What if the task is not finished on the day?
With the full day we guarantee that one task from your own work runs by itself. If it does not work on the day itself, we finish it within a week. If that fails too, you get your money back.
Which task runs at the end of the day?
We choose that together in the free 30-minute intake: work that someone retypes every day now. Think of orders from email into Exact or Odoo, purchase invoices into Moneybird, or draft replies to customer questions. It is part of the full day (€ 1,950 excl. VAT).
