What participants took home.

I now know the various AI tools I need for myself. Before, I knew absolutely nothing about other tools, and I got lots of tips for the perfect prompt. Absolutely top-notch!

Not to be afraid of AI, but still to look at the whole thing with common sense.
-
I found the insights into tools like Gemini, Nano Banana and NotebookLM particularly exciting, and I was able to take away quite a few things for my private life as well.
