Your team learns AI where it needs it: on its own tasks. Three formats from half a day to two days, €1,290 to €4,490 fixed price per group, up to eight participants, plus a record as evidence under Article 4 of the EU AI Act. On site in central Hamburg, in Herrnhut in Upper Lusatia or in-house at your company. Our focus: Claude, the AI model we work with every day.
The Collective Brain AI workshops are in-person training sessions for teams at mid-sized companies, held on site in Hamburg and in Herrnhut in Upper Lusatia. There are three formats at fixed prices between €1,290 and €4,490 per group: half a day, a full day and two days. Groups stay small, with up to eight participants, and everyone works on real tasks from their own business instead of standard examples. The subject focus is Claude by Anthropic, the AI model Collective Brain works with every day. Every workshop is a documented measure under Article 4 of the EU AI Act, with a record of date, topics and participants.
All prices are per group and net of VAT, for business customers only. The prep call, materials and proof of training are always included. Nothing gets added on top.
€1,290 net
The entry point: your team learns what AI can do today and puts it to work while still in the room.
€2,490 net
The workhorse: a full day on your own tasks, with a deep dive for each department.
€4,490 net
For teams that want to put it into practice: on day two you build your own use cases.
On request, we run any format in-house at your company, at the same fixed price plus travel.
For teams rolling out Claude Team or Enterprise, there is the Claude starter package for teams at a fixed price of €1,990 net: a kick-off call, setup, team rules, two or three projects or skills, a half-day workshop and 30 days of email support.
Focused on Claude? See our Claude training, with modules from projects to Claude Code.
A 30-minute call before the workshop: we go through your tasks, tools and expectations. That way the workshop is about your daily work from the very first minute.
Quotes, emails, minutes, reports: you practice on what your team has to get done this week anyway.
One price for the whole workshop, whether three or eight people come. No per-head fee, no hidden items.
Since the amended version took effect on July 27, 2026, Article 4 of the EU AI Act asks companies that use AI systems to take measures that support their staff's AI literacy. The workshop is such a measure, and you get a record with date, topics and participants for your files.
We work with Claude by Anthropic every day and know it down to the details. Where another tool fits better, we use ChatGPT or Microsoft 365 Copilot. Your use case decides what ends up in your business.
You get every prompt, example and guardrail from the workshop as a handout, so your team can carry on with it on Monday.
You don't learn AI by watching.
That is why our groups stay small: up to eight participants, six for AI Intensive. Everyone works on their own computer on their own tasks, and we look over everyone's shoulder. A seminar room with twenty people and a slide deck can be documented, but it won't change anyone's working day.

Right in the city center, a few minutes from Hamburg Central Station. This is where Collective Brain is based and where the systems we show in the workshop run. We run in-house sessions across the whole Hamburg area, from the surrounding region to HafenCity.

AI training is offered almost only in big cities. We also run it in Upper Lusatia, easy to reach from Görlitz, Zittau, Bautzen and Dresden.
Open in Google Maps (opens in a new tab)Article 4 of the EU AI Act has applied since February 2, 2025. Since the amended version took effect on July 27, 2026, it asks providers and deployers of AI systems to take measures that support their staff's AI literacy. As soon as your team uses ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot in its daily work, you are a deployer, whatever the size of your company. You do not owe anyone a specific level of AI literacy, and Article 4 is not among the provisions the regulation backs with fines. Every one of our workshops is such a measure and is recorded with date, topics and participants. According to the European Commission, an internal record like this is enough as evidence. You do not need a certificate. The details are in our guide to Article 4 (in German).
More on planning, in German: how to build AI training for employees by role, which grants for AI training in 2026 will pay for it, and when an in-house workshop gets you further than the IHK's AI manager course.

Florian built the AI workflows we use ourselves every day, from the blog system to the AI Leaderboard, which is rebuilt from its data sources on a daily schedule. In the workshop he doesn't show slides about AI, he shows systems that run. Before the workshop, you talk to him directly, not to a sales team.
Book a call with Florian Learoy builds the materials for our workshops and the AI automations that keep running in day-to-day work afterwards, mainly in sales and service. He brings 15 years of e-commerce experience at mid-sized companies, from shop systems and data to conversion.

Because AI skills come from doing, not from watching. With up to eight participants (AI Intensive: six), everyone works on their own computer on their own tasks, and we look over everyone's shoulder. In groups of twenty, half the room just watches.
On site at our two locations: in Hamburg at Kattrepelsbrücke 1, right in the city center, and in Herrnhut at August-Bebel-Straße 6a, in Upper Lusatia. On request we also come to your company, at the same fixed price plus travel.
Because AI training shouldn't stop at the city limits of Hamburg, Berlin and Munich. Herrnhut is in Upper Lusatia and easy to reach from Görlitz, Zittau, Bautzen and Dresden. Businesses in Saxony get the same format as our Hamburg clients, without an overnight stay or a long journey.
Yes. Since the amended version took effect on July 27, 2026, Article 4 of the EU AI Act asks companies that use AI systems to take measures that support their staff's AI literacy.

Article 4 has applied since February 2, 2025. Since the amended version took effect on July 27, 2026, it asks providers and deployers of AI systems to take measures that support their staff's AI literacy. You no longer owe anyone a specific level of AI literacy. This applies to every company that uses AI in its daily work, whatever its size. The regulation does not prescribe a particular course format. What makes sense is content that fits how your business actually uses AI, and a record that documents the measure. Every one of our workshops delivers both.
The law does not prescribe any specific training. As soon as your company uses AI systems, Article 4 of the EU AI Act asks it to take measures that support its staff's AI literacy, whatever the size of the company. Article 4 is not among the provisions the regulation backs with fines. Training on your own tasks is the obvious route, and the record documents it.
Yes, it is part of every format. Claude by Anthropic is our focus: we work with it every day ourselves, from our magazine to automation. If you are looking specifically for Claude training for your team, say so in the prep call. Then we build the whole workshop around Claude, from projects and knowledge bases to skills and automations with Claude Code. Modules and prices are on our Claude training for teams page.
Each participant gets a confirmation of attendance, and your company gets a record with date, topics and participants as evidence under Article 4 of the EU AI Act. The regulation does not require a certificate. This is deliberately not a certificate course over several weeks like the ones the German chambers of commerce (IHK) run: our formats condense the material into half a day to two days.
Our formats are in-person workshops, because putting things into practice on your own computer with a trainer in the room works fastest. The prep call runs by phone or video. If your team is spread across several locations, we come to your company for the workshop, at the same fixed price plus travel. Online, there is the half-day Claude workshop from our Claude starter package for teams, made for companies that are rolling out Claude Team or Enterprise.
No. The workshop works for anyone who can use a computer. People who already work with ChatGPT or Claude get more demanding tasks in the deep dive. We clarify which accounts you need in the prep call, and if necessary we provide test accounts for the day.
Our focus is Claude by Anthropic: we work with it every day ourselves, from our magazine to automation, and that is the depth you get in the workshop. We also use ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot when they fit your tasks better. How to tell which model suits which task is part of the program. For exactly that, our AI Leaderboard compares the leading models and is rebuilt from its data sources on a daily schedule.
Per group. Whether three or eight people take part, the price stays the same. That makes planning simple and rewards teams that learn together, because that is exactly when what they learn sticks in the business.
Yes, on request we run any format at your company, at the same fixed price plus travel. All you need is a room with Wi-Fi and one computer per participant. We bring everything else.
You get the handout with all prompts and the proof of training. The AI Hands-On Day adds 30 days of email support, AI Intensive 60 days. If you then want to automate workflows, our AI Services take care of the rest: strategy, software and IT operations from one team.
Depending on the German federal state, there are grants for further training and subsidies for consulting, but the programs change all the time. Ask us about it in the prep call and we will tell you what currently fits your business. Applications often need lead time, so plan for it.
