What sets us apart

AI fails at the human, not the model.

Most AI trainings end with a good intention and a set of slides. A few weeks later both have disappeared into a folder, and the working day runs as before.

This is not a technology problem. This is a behaviour problem.

We combine AI expertise with consumer psychology: we understand the technology and why people reject it. People do not change habits because they know something is better. They change them when the barriers are small enough and the motivation is strong enough, and in that order.

This idea is built into every Hill Digital training: what holds your team back? What has to move out of the way first, before a tool is actually used?

01
Identify the barriers first

Uncertainty, perceived effort, resistance, lack of readiness. We clarify what stands in the way before we explain a tool. Pushing motivation before clearing the barrier is like pressing the accelerator with the handbrake on.

02
Then build motivation

Only once obstacles are out of the way does motivation take hold for good. We use proven insights from behavioural economics to make AI adoption actually stick.

03
Real cases, not lecture-style teaching

We work on your concrete routines. What you do by hand today runs in a system tomorrow. No demo, no slides, no generic examples.

Three trainings

Three core products. One hands-on day.

Professionals have systems, amateurs settle for the tool. Most of your people already use AI, just hesitantly and rarely well. We turn that into a reliable approach that works on any model and holds up after the seminar too. The same method, three cuts: the general training for any team, the HR variant for people work and the tool training for organisations that work with Microsoft 365. Each day consists of a morning (foundations) and an afternoon (application).

Copilot in Everyday Work

The tool you already have.

The licences are paid for. Copilot is barely used. The day shows what it is good for inside your own Microsoft 365 environment, and how to tell a weak result from a usable one.

Module 1 · Morning
  • How Copilot works and which data it sees
  • Prompting for Copilot, its limits at a glance
  • Data protection as a work routine
Module 2 · Afternoon
  • Word, Excel, Teams and Outlook in practice
  • Check results before they reach the document
  • Extend Copilot with your own company data

What your team takes away

In-house / company training

The whole team at once.

From 4 participants the per-person list price no longer applies. For groups and whole departments we build a separate quote: training, group size, duration, date and location are calculated together, matched to your sector and your own cases.

The whole team? Own price, own quote In-house, exclusively for your team. What your group size actually costs we tell you in the scoping call, all we need is team size and goal. We come to your offices, you come to us in Vienna, or we run it online or hybrid.
Start a group request

We recommend the full day (morning + afternoon), for up to 12 participants; on request we split the training across two days. The prices listed with the individual trainings are single-seat prices for open dates. If you book for a whole team, they do not apply.

Your trainer

Jakub Popluhar

Business Lead · Hill Digital · AI trainer & consumer psychologist

Master of Education, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. A deep background in linguistics, semantics and consumer psychology. AI trainer at ARS, Austria's largest seminar provider, with solid training in sales and consumer psychology.

In the training that means: I can see who in a group is switching off and why, and I bring that person back before they write the day off. That decides more about the outcome than the question of which tool is running on screen.

'I do not train anything I do not use myself every day.'

Certificate

Every participant gets the proof.

At the end, every participant receives a Hill Digital certificate. That gives you the proof on file, without having to build your own evidence trail in-house.

Already mandatory. Not from 2026. Since 2 February 2025, the EU AI Act (Article 4) has required every company that uses AI to ensure its staff are sufficiently AI literate. This obligation already applies. Each of our trainings is the documented, auditable measure with which you meet it.

'Providers and deployers of AI systems shall take measures to ensure, to their best extent, a sufficient level of AI literacy of their staff …' — Article 4, AI Act (EU) 2024/1689

Frequently asked questions

Before you get in touch.

Where do the trainings take place, and can they run online?

The open dates run in person in Vienna, in the 4th district. We send the exact address with your booking confirmation. For in-house training we come to your offices, anywhere in Austria and the German-speaking region. We also deliver online and hybrid, for example for distributed teams or single sites joining remotely. In person is our standard, because a trainer in the room sees the level of prior knowledge and shapes the day around it.

What does it cost?

Half-day from 450 €, full day from 749 € per person (HR day from 849 €). The Boutique variant with a maximum of 6 people is more intensive (899 €, or 999 € in HR). All prices include the Article 4 certificate. In-house training for whole teams we clarify in a scoping call.

Can I book a half-day or a full day?

Both. On the same date, the morning (foundations) and the afternoon (your own AI helpers) can also be booked separately. The full day combines both and is cheaper than two separate half-days. The office day and HR work the same way.

Do I need prior knowledge?

No. The trainings are designed for participants with and without prior AI knowledge. Everyone joins at their own level, in any department, with or without an HR background.

Do I need a paid AI subscription?

No. The free versions of the common AI tools are enough for all the content. Only the advanced agent training (building your own AI agents) requires a subscription.

What about data protection?

Data protection under GDPR and the requirements of the EU AI Act are a fixed part of it, in the HR training especially for candidate and personnel data. You work on your own accounts, your data stays with you. And what you learn transfers to any AI model: we train the approach, not a single tool.

Still unsure?
