This is not about adding another AI tool to your stack. It is about changing how you think when you work with AI, so the result is better and it takes less time to get there. Once that clicks, most problems stop feeling unsolvable.
Sound familiar?
You use AI daily, but every task still feels like starting from zero.
You spend more time cleaning up the AI's draft than the task would have taken on your own.
You ask a developer, or wait on IT, for something you could fix yourself with AI today.
People who want to solve problems themselves and move faster in their own job. Some go further and become the person their team turns to instead of IT - that is a bonus, not the price of entry.
In four weeks, you’ll have a practical system for using AI confidently at work.
01
Choose the right model, mode, and context on purpose - no more typing into the default chat and hoping.
02
Spot the work worth doing and turn it into a brief and plan worth running. Catch a bad approach early, including when the right fix is not AI.
03
Spot when a polished answer is wrong, find the gap with evidence, and get to a result you can stand behind.
04
Turn a good result into a reusable way of working. Build templates and habits your team can repeat without relying on you.
You see the problem and ship the fix yourself, without a ticket to IT. A PM prototypes before the client sits down; a marketer has the campaign page live the same afternoon.

Meet your instructors
We've taught this in workshops for enterprise teams, SMEs, universities, and public institutions. AI BEAVERS, the builder community we run across 12 countries, grew out of the same work - with events backed by Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Cursor.
We've worked with these models since the week ChatGPT launched - before the courses, the playbooks, and the polished tools existed. Everything in this course was figured out on real work first, then taught.
The habits you'll learn are the ones we use every day: plan before you generate, break work into small steps you can verify, and give the model the missing context instead of arguing with it.

4 live sessions
3.5-4 hours each, online. Teaching, demos, exercises, group critique.
Practice between sessions
Apply the method to one real work problem, or a safe practice case.
The kit
Brief, checklists, field guide, and a worked example from your month.
Office hours and a +30-day clinic
Weekly drop-in during the month. One check-in after it ends.
Alumni group
A private channel that stays open after the month. Talk to peers, exchange ideas, keep the habit.
The month
Week 1
A correct picture of the systems, where they break, and real fluency with a frontier platform - voice, modes, deep research, connectors and agents, persistent context.
Week 2
Spot the work that is worth it, write a brief a model can nail, judge the plan before anything runs.
Week 3
Choose the right way to build it, test it like an adult, recover with evidence when it fails.
Week 4
Turn your workflow into something a teammate can run - pilot it, hand it off, and close with a showcase of what people actually did.
My whole week is CRM lists and screening profiles. After the workshop I built a small internal tool for exactly that, as a complete non-developer. My colleagues use it too now. Still feels a bit unreal to be honest.
Maximilian
Head of Sales Operations, DealCircle
What an amazing course! What I found most useful was learning to judge the answers properly, when to trust them and when to check. I used to rewrite half of what came out. Follow-ups after a trade fair now take me a day instead of a week.
Kerstin
Senior Global Business Development, logineer
I build AI automations for clients, so honestly I expected to know most of it. Nope. Took more notes than I have in years. The way they break a problem down before touching the model is now how we run projects at the studio.
Martin
Project Manager, Studio84.ai
After 20 years in IT you develop a good feeling on what a good course looks like. Clear thinking, real examples, highly practical and methods I could apply to our client projects the same day. Thank you both!
Thomas
Co-Founder & CSO, Asteyo
Between my day job in purchasing, a part-time degree, and a side business, my time is tight. This was worth it. I use it almost daily for supplier data and price overviews, and half of it went straight into the onboarding project I run for our team. Also super useful for non-work related tasks!

To: your manager
Hi [manager], I'd like to enroll in Keystone, a live one-month AI course for business professionals: https://ai-beavers.com/keystone Why it's worth it for us: - The practice between sessions happens on real tasks from my desk, so it pays back during the course, not after. - I come back with reusable templates and a repeatable method the team can copy - not a folder of notes. - It's taught live in a small group by the founders of AI BEAVERS, who run Germany's biggest AI hackathon and have trained 500+ people in person. The early-bird price is €1,200 plus VAT where applicable until 13 Sept (then €1,800), and they invoice us as a company. Can we cover it from the development budget before the deadline? Thanks, [your name] P.S. It might be worth sending two or three of us together - a shared way of working beats one person explaining it back.
No. This is for business work. If you can do your job, you can do this.
No. Session 1 starts with how the systems work. You will not be left behind.
If you still get polished-but-wrong answers, pick tools at random, or cannot reuse what worked last week - this is for you. If you want model internals or engineering workflows, it is not.
About 4 hours live plus 1-2 hours of practice between sessions, spread across one month. Weekly office hours are about one extra hour, and optional. Not a second job.
Weekly office hours run during the month, about one hour, drop-in, any question. The +30-day clinic is one session after the course ends - a check-in on how the work is landing, plus leftover questions.
Yes. You get access to a private alumni group with your cohort and later graduates. Use it to talk to peers, exchange ideas, and keep using the method after the month ends.
Recordings are shared for each session, so missing one will not set you back. Live attendance is still worth prioritizing - the room, the critique, and the real-time Q&A do not replay the same.
Drop your email in the "Can't make these dates?" box near the application form. We'll email you as soon as the next dates are set - no application or payment needed now.
Use a safe practice case. It counts. Do not paste confidential customer, employee, legal, financial, or medical data.
No. You leave with habits, a kit, and work you can reuse. Not a certificate theater.
ChatGPT or Claude, or a company-approved tool with the same job. We teach the method, not one vendor.
No. If you already build with AI as an engineer and want engineering-level workflows, this is not it. Keystone is for business work - recruiting, HR, sales, customer success, customer support, marketing, product management, design, finance, admin, operations, legal, and procurement.
Most companies treat this as professional development, and AI training is an easy approval. This page includes a ready-to-send approval email for your manager, and we provide an invoice made out to your company plus a short completion note for your manager or L&D team.
Live online, in English.
No. Applying is free and commits you to nothing. If your application is a fit, seat and payment terms will be clear before you pay.
You're covered. Attend the first live session. If it's not right, tell us within 48 hours and we refund the full price - no forms, no hard feelings.
The early price shown on this page is €1,200 (save €600 vs €1,800) and holds for seats confirmed by 13 Sept. Prices exclude VAT. Where VAT applies for your billing country, it is added and shown on your invoice. If your application is a fit, we'll share payment details before you commit.
Yes. We reserve a few subsidized seats per cohort for people covering this themselves. Reach out to us at [email protected] with a short note on your situation, and we'll see what we can do.
Run AI like a pro.
