What it’s about

From the basics to building.

Anyone past the basics works here in formats where tasks are broken down, processes are thought through and turned into AI-ready workflows — with people who do this every day.

Workflows

AI processes for everyday work.

Automation

Process logic & agents that take over tasks.

Tool stacks

Setups for real-world use — e. g. n8n.

On site, not a video course

What makes the on-site formats different.

The AI Hub connects you to a community, events and a network of people who work on AI products and teams themselves. The work is on workflows and concrete results.

  • Hands-on by nature — you build here, you don’t just get it explained.
  • Instructors from practice — who use AI every day.
  • Builder focus — geared toward technical implementation.
  • Connected to events & meetups — the exchange continues.
Frequently asked

Good to know.

Do I have to be a developer?
Not necessarily. What matters is a strong interest in practice and getting things built — that can be technical, product-oriented or workflow-oriented.
Is it more about tools or technical depth?
Both. The formats build on concrete applications, workflows and implementation logic.
What do the formats cost?
Meetups and AI Friday are free. Masterclasses usually cost 90 € — for KI Campus members they are included.
Am I looking for certified, accredited training?
Funded, AZAV-accredited programs (e. g. KI-Manager) are offered by our independent sister organization, the AI Academy.
Structured, certified training

Our independent sister organization, the AI Academy, offers AZAV-funded programs such as the KI-Manager — up to 100 % covered via the German “Bildungsgutschein” (education voucher).
