Practical AI training · online and in person

Everyone has the same tools. Not everyone gets the same results.

The difference is in how you work with them. I'll show you the process live, on tasks from your own work, and then you repeat it on your own, in the tool you already use.

First Kušaonica: early 2027 · free · online

  • Training online and in person

Why isn't AI saving you time yet?

You have the tool. The result is still average and the work hasn't changed. Sound familiar?

  • You ask, get an answer, copy it. And start from scratch every time.
  • The text AI writes doesn't sound like you, so you rewrite it anyway.
  • You repeat the same task every week and never get round to setting it up properly.
  • You hear about skills, agents and automation, but don't know where to start.

The problem isn't the tool, and it isn't you. Nobody has shown you the process.

That's exactly what I do: I demonstrate the process on a real task, explain why it goes in that order and stay with you until you can repeat it yourself.

I don't teach you a tool. I teach you a process you can repeat in any tool.

What would you like to learn?

For small businesses, sole traders, individuals, institutions and associations. I demonstrate everything live: what's possible and how it's done. You repeat the steps and work on whatever is bothering you most.

Training for businesses and organisations

Do you run a small team, a small business, an institution or an association and want AI to become part of everyday work? We shape the content and level around your experience and work. We go through your typical tasks and look for the ones you can solve straight away.

With the training you receive materials, step-by-step procedures and templates you can keep using afterwards.

Specialist area: AI in project management

Let's talk about your training

Small tools you build yourself

Is there a job you still do by hand, in spreadsheets or on paper? You describe what you need to AI and build a simple tool or website, without programming. I show you how to get started, check the result and improve what doesn't work. We start from your problem.

Examples: tracking incoming invoices · a log of quotes and enquiries · a price calculator for quotes · a simple website

I have an idea Open workshop on this topic: Za stolom

I built this website myself, with AI.

One-to-one sessions (on request)

Have a task, question or idea you'd like to explore with me? Tell me about it and we'll agree how to work.

Tell me about your task

We work in the tool you already use.

Some people use ChatGPT, some Claude, some Copilot. That's not an obstacle. I demonstrate the process so that you can repeat it in your own tool.

I cover more than 20 tools.

Main tools:

  • ChatGPT
  • Claude
  • Gemini
  • Copilot
  • Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM)

Explore the possibilities. Then sit down and build your own.

Two formats, two goals. At Kušaonica you watch what the tools can do. At Za stolom you build things yourself.

Kušaonica (KušAI)

  • Online
  • 45 minutes
  • Free

A demonstration of what AI tools can do.

Practical everyday work tasks, solved live in several AI tools. I demonstrate the process and explain why I choose each step. You follow along, ask questions and pick what you can apply straight away.

Outcome: A clearer picture of what the tools can do and examples you can repeat in your own tool.

First Kušaonica: early 2027.

Za stolom

  • In person
  • Small group
  • Hands-on

You leave with a tool of your own.

This isn't a lecture about tools. At Za stolom you do the work. You bring a task that's been bothering you and I guide you step by step: from describing the idea, through a first version, to fixing what doesn't work. We work in Claude Code and Codex, without programming.

If you can write an email and explain to a colleague what you need, you can do this.

Outcome: A first version of your own tool for your work, a process for building the next one on your own, and materials with templates you can keep using.

I'm interested in Za stolom

Both workshops are being prepared, and the first Kušaonica is planned for early 2027. Leave your email and I'll let you know the topic, date and details.

Sessions are delivered in Croatian.

Notify me about the workshops

I demonstrate, explain, and then we try it out.

A text, a presentation, project materials... A practical task makes it easier to see where AI can help. I show what I give the tool, how I describe the task and what I look for when reviewing the result. In hands-on workshops, you get to try it too.

“Where do I click?” is a perfectly good question. We go step by step and I'll show you every click.

I'm Valentina, the person behind AI na Žlicu.

I'm an AI educator and project manager. I teach at the Croatian Chamber of Economy's AI Academy and deliver training for companies and individuals.

I've spent fifteen years working on projects in the public and private sectors, from EU funding to infrastructure and sustainable development. I bring that experience into my teaching: breaking down a task, connecting the steps and explaining how to reach a result. I'm particularly interested in using AI in project management.

I like showing what I use myself, explaining how I got there and pausing whenever something needs another explanation. That's the idea behind AI na Žlicu, or “AI by the spoonful”: practical doses of knowledge, with examples you can try yourself.

Let's give it a go!

Common questions

I already use AI. Is this for me?

If you mostly use it through chat, the sessions can introduce you to other ways of working. Each workshop will state its topic and the experience needed.

I'm just getting started with AI tools. Is this for me?

Yes. If you can use a web browser and email, you have enough to start. I explain things step by step and start from examples. For businesses and organisations we agree the level in advance, and each open workshop will state the experience needed.

I use ChatGPT (or Copilot, or Gemini). Is that a problem?

No. I work in several tools and demonstrate the process so that you can repeat it in your own.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. If you can write an email and explain to a colleague what you need, you can do this. At Za stolom you build a tool by describing what you want to AI. If a workshop requires a particular tool or account, its description will say so.

What will I take away from Za stolom?

A first version of your own tool, built on your own example, a process you can repeat (how to describe the idea, check the result and fix what doesn't work) and materials with templates.

What do I need to bring to Za stolom?

Your own computer and a paid subscription to Claude Code or Codex (part of ChatGPT); the smallest plan is enough. Without one you can follow the process, but you won't build your own tool.

Will I get materials?

Yes. With training and the Za stolom workshop you receive materials, step-by-step procedures and templates. They are designed for you to keep using after the session ends.

Do you speak at conferences and events?

Yes, gladly. The topics I cover are the practical use of AI in everyday work and AI in project management. Get in touch through the form and tell me about the event, the audience and the date.

How much does it cost?

Kušaonica is free. Training for businesses and organisations and one-to-one sessions are quoted according to the content and scope. The price of Za stolom will be listed with the date, before registration.

Get in touch

Give AI a job, not just a question.

Tell me which task is bothering you or what you'd like to learn. You don't need a finished plan.
