FAQ
Frequent questions.
What prospects typically ask about Use AI in Daily Operations — answered from 400+ projects.
Do we need ChatGPT or Copilot? +
Depends. For many use cases Microsoft 365 Copilot is enough (GDPR stamp, EU Data Boundary, runs on your M365 data). For sensitive cases we recommend local language models (Llama, Mistral, German providers like Aleph Alpha) — they run on your own server, data never leaves the building. ChatGPT (standard) we only advise against if you don't enter business data.
What about GDPR? +
We recommend exclusively tools that are GDPR-compliant: M365 Copilot with EU Data Boundary, Aleph Alpha (German provider), locally hosted language models (Llama, Mistral). Data Processing Agreements are prepared by us. We ensure no data wanders into unsafe clouds.
Does it work without cloud? +
Yes, for many cases even recommended. Locally hosted language models run on a server at your premises or in a German data center. Data flow: purely internal. Slightly more expensive in setup, but for sensitive industries (healthcare, law, manufacturing) often the only clean solution.
How extensive is the training? +
One workshop day (3–4 hours) is enough for 5–7 concrete tricks. We show, let people practice, answer questions. After the day the know-how is in the team. Optionally we accompany the first 4 weeks — a brief office hour per week is usually enough.
What does it cost? +
Workshop day runs 1,200–1,800 euros depending on participant count. Tool licenses (M365 Copilot, local LLM hosting) depend on volume — typically 30–50 euros per employee per month for M365 Copilot, or a server setup for local LLMs (3,000–8,000 euros one-time). In the initial conversation we sort out what makes sense.
What if an employee doesn't want to do AI? +
Forcing brings nothing. We start with employees who want to — they become internal multipliers. Skeptics see results and usually come around themselves. If not: tools are voluntary, no one has to. The extra work others save through AI compensates well.
Will personnel become redundant later? +
No. AI removes routine — employees do more of what they were hired for (think, advise, decide). We currently see this with all our customers: no one was let go because of AI, many positions were upgraded. This is not a salvation promise — it's experience.
