What can you expect?

Hands-on

Expect sessions where you won’t just sit back and listen: you’ll actually try things out. Whether it’s testing prompts, exploring new tools or simulating real-life cases. You’ll leave each session with new skills you’ve actively practiced. Learning by doing, not by watching.

Practical

No jargon, no abstract theory. Everything I share is directly applicable to your daily work. From automating repetitive tasks to improving communication, you’ll discover how AI can create real value in your specific context, whether you're in business, education, or the non-profit sector. Learning to drive without looking under the hood of the car, or maybe just to show you where the oil goes.

Relevant

AI is evolving fast and so are its use cases. I tailor every session to your sector, your team and your goals. Expect up-to-date examples, custom prompts, and use cases that actually matter to your work. No one-size-fits-all but actionable insights you can apply the next day.

Hi, I'm Thomas Donvil, a lifelong educator with a deep curiosity for Generative AI.

When ChatGPT emerged in 2023, I was instantly fascinated. What started as a spark of interest quickly turned into a full-blown passion: understanding how large language models work, how they shape our future and how we can use them meaningfully. Not just efficiently.

As a teacher and program manager in higher education I began diving deep into the world of AI and LLMs. I’ve spent the past years exploring their impact on learning, business, and decision-making. Always with one question in mind: How can we make AI work for people, not replace them?

Now, I’m combining my two greatest passions, teaching and technology, to offer engaging workshops, practical advice, and tailored training sessions for teams, businesses, schools and professionals who want to work smarter, not harder.

Let’s lighten the path to smarter work, together.
