  • Early personal productivity wins
  • No shared structure, standards, or team-wide approach
STAGE 2

Structured

AI use is becoming intentional with defined team-wide use cases and measurable ROI.

  • Playbooks exist and are widely adopted
  • Time savings and business impact are becoming visible
STAGE 3

CUSTOMER STORIES

What Teams Say About AIHR’s AI Training

The AI Hackathon session was one of the most valuable AI sessions I’ve attended. I initially found the idea of AI agents intimidating, but AIHR made the technology approachable through practical examples and real-world applications. I left the session inspired by the potential of AI agents to streamline employee relations processes, automate repetitive tasks, and improve overall HR workflows.

Lucy Arutyunyan HR Director at Imagine Group

AIHR has been a great partner in helping our team build practical AI skills and confidence. For many team members, this was their first formal introduction to AI, and the learning experience was thoughtfully designed to make the topic approachable while gradually building in complexity.

Libby B. Talent Management & Performance Consultant

FAQs

How many people can join the AI Hackathon?

The AI Hackathon is designed for teams of up to 20 participants. We can recommend the best setup based on your team size and objectives.

Who facilitates the AI Hackathon?

Each AI Hackathon is facilitated by an experienced AIHR expert with deep expertise in both HR and the practical application of AI. They bring hands-on experience helping HR teams identify use cases, build AI-enabled workflows, and apply AI to real-world HR challenges.

Do we need AI experience to join the AI Hackathon?

No. The AI Hackathon works for HR teams at the beginning of their AI journey as well as teams already experimenting. Our expert guides participants through the process, so no technical or AI expertise is required.

What will our team actually build?

Your team will work on a real HR challenge and turn it into a practical AI-enabled workflow or solution. The goal is to leave the AI Hackathon with something tangible that shows how AI can support everyday HR work.

How do we choose the right challenge for the AI Hackathon?

You don’t need to arrive with the perfect use case. Ahead of the AI Hackathon, we’ll help you identify a challenge that is relevant to your team, achievable within the session, and suited to demonstrating practical AI value.

Who should participate?

The AI Hackathon is designed for HR teams and can bring together professionals from different HR functions and levels. It works particularly well when participants bring real HR challenges and want to explore how AI could improve the way they work.

Which AI tools will we use?

The specific tools depend on your organization, available technology, and the challenge you choose. The focus is not on learning one particular tool, but on learning how to apply AI effectively to HR work.

What AI access does our team need?

Ideally, your team has access to AI tools that support building custom GPTs, Gems, Skills, or Agents. If those features aren’t available in your organization, that’s no problem. We can adapt the Hackathon and build a reusable prompt template or workflow using the AI tools your team already has access to.

Is our data safe during the AI Hackathon?

Yes. The AI Hackathon takes place within your organization’s existing AI environment and uses the tools your team already has access to. AIHR does not access, process, or store your company data. Your team remains in control of what information is used throughout the session.

What happens after the AI Hackathon?

The AI Hackathon can stand on its own as a practical first AI experience. During the impact review, we’ll discuss what was built, define actionable next steps, and explore how your team can continue building AI capability through Boot Camps or ongoing learning with the AI for HR Academy.

Can the AI Hackathon work with our organization’s AI policies and tools?

Yes. We can align the AI Hackathon with your organization’s existing AI environment, policies, and available tools. This helps participants explore practical applications within the boundaries they will encounter in their day-to-day work.
