Understand the work
Map the tasks, systems and constraints that matter to your organisation.
No two teams have the same data, systems, people or risk appetite. We design bespoke AI training around the work you actually do, so your people can choose well, use AI confidently and know where the boundaries are.
BUILT FOR YOUR WORK
We start with your roles, existing tools, data and decisions. Then we tailor the session to the people in the room, whether they are leaders setting policy, specialists testing new workflows or teams learning the foundations.
We teach from the AI work we do ourselves: testing models, building systems and applying AI to real workflows. Participants learn the trade-offs we face in delivery and leave with a clearer view of what to pilot and what needs human judgement.
Map the tasks, systems and constraints that matter to your organisation.
Assess frontier models and deployment choices against your needs.
Try workflows your people recognise, with review points built in.
Identify useful pilots, safeguards and capability gaps for your team.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE TRAINING
Our Principal Consultant, Pasan Thilakasiri, PhD, leads the sessions. Ongoing R&D keeps the model comparisons and practical examples current.
Principal Consultant · Co-founder & Managing Director
Pasan leads our bespoke sessions, drawing on real delivery experience to connect AI research with governance, practical workflows and the decisions your team needs to make.
VENDOR NEUTRAL BY DESIGN
ChatGPT, Claude and Microsoft Copilot are familiar starting points. Beneath the surface is a much wider field, including DeepSeek, Kimi, Xiaomi MiMo and GLM. Each brings different strengths, deployment options and trade-offs.
Our training explores this changing landscape without favouring a vendor. We compare models against your actual work, data, privacy needs and budget, so your team can make informed choices as new options emerge.
MS Copilot MADE FOR NEW ZEALAND
We cover responsible AI use in a New Zealand context: handling personal and confidential information, checking outputs, understanding provider terms, keeping humans accountable, and considering when overseas data disclosure rules apply. Your organisation's own policies and sector requirements shape the discussion.

LOOKING BEYOND THE FAMILIAR
Our Principal Consultant visited Alibaba Cloud in Hangzhou and Westlake University. Discussions there widened our view of Qwen, other open-source models and the infrastructure that runs them.
It sharpened questions we bring into training for New Zealand teams: inference cost, where data sits, how to govern AI use and how to avoid vendor lock-in.
