OUR COMPASS
Five questions before you deploy.
We never train on a tool without answering these five questions first.
A
Actors
Who will use it, and who decides?
K
Knowledge
What data, what expertise?
I
Impact
How do we measure the value created?
A
Alignment
Aligned with your culture & GDPR?
This filter eliminates 80% of 'AI-for-AI's-sake' projects. We keep the 20% that actually create value.
SERVICES
Four ways to move forward.
01
AI Readiness Audit
2 weeks. Interviews with your teams, mapping of priority use cases, AI maturity scoring against the MAKIA framework, audit of available data and GDPR constraints, then delivery of a 30/60/90-day roadmap with estimated ROI and a sequenced deployment plan.

Custom in-house trainings
1 to 5-day training programs tailored to AI literacy level: fundamentals of generative AI, prompt engineering, main general tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini), then specific tools and use cases matched to each team's roles and tasks.

Prototype sprints
1–2 weeks to go from idea to a working Project / GPT / Gem: needs scoping, system prompt design, integration of your data and reference documents, iteration with end users, then handover of a version tested in real conditions with usage documentation.

Executive briefings
2h with your exec team or board. State of the art of generative models, what really changes in your sector, what's just hype, framing of risks (GDPR, sovereignty, vendor lock-in), and concrete recommendations on 2026 AI budget allocation and the governance to put in place.

ABOUT
One standard: it has to work on Monday morning.
Makia Labs started from one observation: most corporate AI trainings stop at the demo. Teams leave impressed and… change nothing. Our MAKIA framework and CRAFT prompt method (Context · Role · Action · Format · Tone) are built for the opposite: you leave the room with working prompts, a configured Project, and a 90-day plan.
Research-grounded, active pedagogy, and one stated bias: we'd rather find one use case that saves 30 minutes a day than show ten slides about the singularity.

WHITEPAPER · FREE
Generative AI in SMEs: what works, what doesn't.
In February 2025, AI training became a legal duty across the EU. Most SMEs haven't noticed. This 28-page playbook explains what changed, what to do about it, and how the MAKIA framework filters the 80% of AI projects that don't belong in your business from the 20% that do.
Let's talk about your AI adoption.
30 minutes. No slides. We look at one of your use cases and tell you what we'd do.
