Large Public Transport Company – KEGON AI Kickstart Workshop 2026

Employees of a large public transport company already had access to modern AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. Nevertheless, as in many organizations, there was a wide range in terms of usage maturity: while some employees were already using AI effectively to optimize their daily tasks, others still had reservations or lacked the necessary know-how.

The Client

Employees of a large public transport company already had access to modern AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot and ChatGPT. Nevertheless, as in many organizations, there was a wide range in terms of usage maturity: while some employees were already using AI effectively to optimize their daily tasks, others still had reservations or lacked the necessary know-how.
To unlock this potential, the company decided to participate in the KEGON AI Kickstart Workshop.

The KEGON Solution

In 2026, the two KEGON consultants and AI specialists Svenja Suhre and Manuel Marsch introduced the participants to the most important fundamentals of artificial intelligence in an interactive and playful format.

The workshop included:

• a lightweight introduction to AI fundamentals, AI history, and core AI concepts,
• three progressive prompting competitions in which teams developed creative product ideas with AI support,
• illustrative examples of bias, hallucinations, and other risks associated with AI,
• practical explanations of legal frameworks such as the GDPR, the EU AI Act, and copyright law,
• the joint development of practical AI use cases based on recurring tasks from everyday work.

One highlight was the spontaneous and highly creative AI-supported product ideas developed by the participants — including a reflective safety vest for frogs at dusk and a recyclable bicycle. These examples playfully demonstrated how easily innovation can be sparked through the use of AI.

A particularly striking example addressed image bias: a prompt asking for a family on vacation in a car repeatedly resulted in the same stereotypical image across common AI systems — a strong reminder of how important a critically reflective approach to AI is.

In addition, participants became aware of how much routine work can already be automated today. For example, Microsoft Copilot in PowerPoint was shown to generate professional first drafts of presentations within just a few minutes — a noticeable gain in efficiency.

Participant Feedback

After approximately six hours, participants drew a very positive conclusion:

• They felt more confident in using AI.
• The combination of knowledge transfer, interaction, and analog elements was particularly appreciated.
• The relaxed atmosphere without a “slide deck overload” encouraged discussion and experimentation.
• Many participants wanted to apply what they had learned directly in their daily work the very next day.

Conclusion

The KEGON AI Kickstart Workshop helped employees overcome initial reservations about AI, deepen their understanding of both opportunities and risks, and identify concrete use cases for their own daily work.
Through playful elements and practical examples, the workshop successfully engaged employees of all experience levels and sustainably sparked enthusiasm for the topic of artificial intelligence.
