Pragmatics of AI workshop

One session that picks the first workflow and its owner

One agreed place to start cutting manual work. Business, operations and engineering leave with that workflow, its owner and the success threshold for its Proof of Value.

Why AI workshops stall

A workshop should end with decisions, not slides.

One page: which workflow goes first, what gets tested, who owns it.

  1. 01

    Where it stallsThe room starts from a list of ideas.

    What we do Each idea tied to the workflow it changes.

  2. 02

    Where it stallsAI goes on top of the old process.

    What we do The workflow is redrawn for agents.

  3. 03

    Where it stallsThe session ends with slides and no owner.

    What we do Each test leaves with a named owner.

How the workshop works

From a wall of ideas to a test with an owner

What happens in the room, what you leave with, what comes next.

  1. 0103

    In the room: ideas tied to workflows

    Business, operations and engineering bring their ideas, and we map the workflows each one would change.

    • Workflows mapped as they run
    • Manual hand-offs found
    • Success criteria agreed
    Mixam's agent started from one workflow: guiding new users through print options.
  2. 0203

    What you leave with

    Engineers who build agents rank each redesigned workflow by impact, feasibility, data readiness and risk.

    • Workflows ranked by value
    • Data and system readiness
    • Risks to validate first

    What happens next, on your terms

    The top workflow leaves with a test plan and an owner, then a Proof of Value on real data.

    • Proof of Value scope
    • No vendor chosen in advance
    • Outputs yours to act on
"The team at Vstorm was very helpful, their insight and experience helped us greatly in our project. They were very professional at every step of the way and made the whole process feel seamless."

Ways to start

Each path starts with a free call with a founder or senior AI engineer. A build goes ahead only after its Proof of Value meets the agreed threshold.

FAQ

Questions about the Pragmatics of AI workshop

What is an AI workshop? +
A working session where business, operations and engineering examine a real workflow, find where agents can create value, rank the use cases and agree on a next step. It is built around your processes and data rather than general AI education.
What is the difference between an AI workshop and AI advisory? +
The workshop covers one process, product opportunity or stalled initiative and ends with ranked use cases and a delivery path. Advisory covers several workflows over months: opportunities, architecture, technology and governance. We run it as engineering-led advisory. Many engagements start with a workshop and continue into advisory, a Proof of Value or a build.
Is the workshop suitable for teams that are only beginning with AI? +
Yes. The session can begin with opportunity discovery and a practical introduction to agentic AI. It still stays focused on your organization, workflows and decisions rather than general AI education.
Can you work with a team that already has an AI prototype? +
Yes. The workshop can focus on architecture, evaluation, data quality, integration, operational reliability or the reasons the prototype has not reached production.
Is this only for technical teams? +
No. Executive and operational involvement is often essential because the most important questions concern business ownership, process change, risk and measurable outcomes. Technical depth can be adapted to the participants.
Can the workshop focus on one specific workflow? +
Yes. This is the recommended format when a team already knows which process, customer journey or product capability it wants to improve.
Do you recommend particular AI platforms or models? +
Recommendations depend on the use case, data, infrastructure, security requirements and the capabilities of the internal team. We do not begin with a predetermined vendor or technology.
What happens after the workshop? +
You receive agreed outputs and recommendations. Depending on the findings, the next step may be internal execution, further advisory, a technical assessment, a Proof of Value or a production engineering engagement with Vstorm.
Start with the decision you need to make

You do not need a finished AI strategy.

Bring one process and the people who own it; we suggest the format.
