Individual or team AI training? How to choose
Short answer
Choose one-to-one training when the work belongs to one person, such as a specialist's analyses or a manager judging summaries. Choose a team workshop when the result passes between people: one gathers the information, another writes, a third checks. At Syntalith team training costs from €1,150 net a day. With 6 people each saving 1 hour a week, it pays back in 1.4 months after licence costs.

Quick replies the manager keeps sending back
An employee writes customer replies quickly with AI, but the manager keeps sending them back because they lack the facts needed to check the content. If the author has access to the information but cannot pick what is needed, a 1:1 session on their own tasks is enough. If the problem lies between the author and a manager who expects a different form, you need a workshop with both roles.
In a sales department one person gathers the information, another writes the offer and a third checks the terms. Improving the author's work alone leaves open the question of what the others need. A workshop joins the tasks of these roles on one case: the author works on the content, the checker on the assessment and the manager on how the result is used.

The hours saved are the scenario's assumption, which we check by timing the tasks before the training and after 30 days. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat. Claude Team licences at $20 per person a month, at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026.
We measure the hours in the scenario before the training and after 30 days, on the same team tasks. If after a month checking AI texts takes as long as writing from scratch, we change the exercises or the scope of the tool.
According to a study in Science (2023), ChatGPT cut the time 453 professionals spent on writing tasks by 40%. After 30 days we check whether the participant does the task alone and how many corrections come back from the checker.
An open course may be enough to start
If no use has been chosen yet, a course with a set programme lets people learn the basics and the areas where AI is used. Before signing up, check that the level suits the participant and that the course includes work on their own. A programme fitted to the company makes sense once you know the task and want to work on matching materials. The CIPD recommends looking at the needs of the person, the team and the organisation together with current skills. Comparing providers is covered in how to choose an AI training provider, and the 1:1 format on the page for one-to-one AI training.

Where to start
For the call, describe one task you want to do with AI, or a result that keeps coming back for correction, and who works on it and who uses it. We run the workshop as part of team training. For the free analysis, a description of one task the team does every week and of the tools it uses is enough. You get the written training programme within 2 working days.

€3,490
a month for quoting 150 enquiries by hand
Payback: 1 mo.
40 minutes to quote a request and checking in 15% of the old time are our assumptions. €34.90 an hour is the EU average hourly labour cost for 2025 according to Eurostat, for companies with 10 or more employees. Model cost: reading the enquiry in our quoting system (about €0.0008) plus pricing the lines (Claude Sonnet 5.5, about 4,000 + 1,500 tokens), at the ECB rate of 1.1205 USD per euro on 22 October 2026. The extra margin is a scenario: we assume 1 in 40 enquiries quoted the same day ends in an order that a slow reply loses today, with a margin of €344. In the review we count it on your sales process.
