Centigrade AI Academy
Turn your teams into AI professionals
We get teams ready for the GDPR-compliant use of AI and automation – hands-on and human-centered, with experience from more than 2,000 projects in domains such as industry, medicine and life sciences.
You have had AI tools for a long time. What is missing is the competence to use them properly.
The pressure is real: management and clients expect more features, in less time, with fewer errors. At the same time, AI tools change on a monthly cycle. Anyone who only buys AI without mastering it risks expensive bad investments, frustrated teams and solutions that nobody ends up trusting. #OwnYourAI
- Tools without impact: Licenses have been bought, but nobody knows where AI really has the greatest leverage.
- Shadow AI and compliance risk: Teams experiment without control, with no regard for GDPR, data protection and traceability.
- Acceptance barrier: Employees fear for their roles instead of experiencing AI as relief.
- Strategy gap: There is no clear roadmap for which processes come first, and with what ROI.
This is exactly where the AI Academy comes in.
Thomas and his team manage to get our employees excited about the topic of AI and automation across Volkswagen departmental boundaries. This not only arouses great curiosity, but also provides deep practical AI knowledge, which participants can use profitably in their own domain. Thanks to the Centigrade trainers' extensive project experience, even demanding technical questions can always be answered competently in a wide variety of learning paths with the appropriate formats. The feedback from trained employees is very positive, so we are looking forward to all new, exciting topics in the highly dynamic AI environment.
André König Head of Continuing Education for AI, Data Science & UXVolkswagen AI Academy – why it is human-centered
Not a tool demo. An enablement that holds up in everyday work.
Centigrade's AI Academy teaches not only which AI tools should be part of the standard repertoire today, but above all how your team uses them responsibly, safely and effectively. As one of Germany's leading human-centered IT service providers, we know from more than 2,000 projects: technology only takes effect when people understand it, trust it with the right controls in place and stay in the driver's seat.
GDPR and digital sovereignty
We rely on standards that protect your data and on open-source platforms such as n8n, so that you stay independent and keep authority over processes, knowledge and assets.
From practice, for practice
Our trainers do not only teach, they build digital products themselves. Every example comes from real projects, not from a textbook.
Model-agnostic
We do not specialize your employees on a single model, but make them agile in deciding which model should be used when. Whether ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Mistral AI or others.
Human-in-the-loop: people stay in the driver's seat
AI takes over the repetitive work, people stay at the wheel at the decisive points and review the AI's results directly in their familiar tools. This creates acceptance instead of resistance, and results you can trust. With strong open-source tools such as n8n, we build agents that run on rails, with clear workflows and defined handover points. What comes out is your own digital production line, one where you retain control at all times.
Our Trainings
Agentic AI | Basics
AI agents plan and act autonomously. This training shows opportunities and risks and teaches the skillset needed to keep them safely in check.
Context Engineering & RAG
Use your own UX documents as a knowledge source with retrieval augmented generation, including the limits of RAG and alternatives such as knowledge graphs and meta-prompting.
AI Toolchain & Automation
Connect complex AI toolchains along the UX process using low-code – reproducible and usable for the whole team.
UX meets Scrum | Generative AI
UX, Scrum and AI combined: from automatically generated user stories and personas to RAG-supported requirements analysis in agile projects.
Low-Code for No-Coders | Basics
Low-code fundamentals for everyone without programming experience – the basis for keeping up with AI use, vibe coding and automation in the team.

From training to building your product
Many teams notice in the Academy that the greatest leverage does not lie in the next tool, but in a well-considered implementation. If you want to not only learn AI but bring it into real products and processes, Centigrade is your partner — from AI consulting through automation to software modernization.
Prompt engineering workshop: Top of the Prompts
In our Top of the Prompts workshop, we show what prompt engineering can look like. Modelled on the show Top of the Pops, participants send their own animated pixel character onto a virtual stage with prompts they have written themselves. There it competes in front of a jury in the game and is rated.
A skill that can quickly feel dry becomes a moment with competitive spirit and direct feedback. Exactly this approach also shapes our AI Academy trainings: not just conveying knowledge, but making it tangible.
