On 24 June, PREVISIONZ, in collaboration with East Side Fab., opened its doors as part of FabCademy® for ‘Innovation by PREVISIONZ’, a day dedicated to artificial intelligence in the workplace, covering everything from agentic AI and process optimisation to new demands on leadership and career paths. Alongside keynote speeches by Prof. Dr Verena Wolf (DFKI) and Patrick Klein (Proalpha Group), the centrepiece of the event was a series of small-group workshops designed to bring the day’s major AI topics to life.
Prompt Engineering meets stage show
One of these workshops was led by Thomas Immich, Managing Director of Centigrade and the brains behind LeanScope AI: “Top of the Prompts”. Modelled on the music programme ‘Top of the Pops’, the workshop centred on a specially designed pixel game in the style of a talent show. Participants wrote prompts and used them to send their own lovingly animated pixel characters onto the virtual stage, where they competed in front of a jury within the game and were assessed.
This format transforms what is often an abstract skill into a tangible experience: those who are good at writing prompts can see the results immediately in their character’s performance and in the jury’s assessment. In this way, a technical exercise became a playful moment that brought together creativity, structure and a touch of competitive spirit.
A format that seeks to foster dialogue
“Innovation by” is conceived as a travelling event: following PREVISIONZ, the question is already being asked as to which member organisation will host the next edition. For Centigrade, the afternoon provided further evidence that AI expertise is developed not only in theory, but through collaborative experimentation – precisely where business, research and practice converge.
