If concrete results are what you need, we have the solution. Start AI is our flagship program where we've already successfully empowered dozens of teams, big and small, to lead with AI. After the program, you'll be inspired, trained, know the right tools to use, and will have laid the groundwork for secure and ethical AI-based process optimisation in your company.

Frequently asked questions
Why we offer Start AI?
At Wonka AI, democratizing AI is our core mission. Unfortunately, integrating AI into your business isn't as simple as flipping a switch.
According to Bain & Company: - 6 out of 10 employees believe they need to learn new skills due to AI. - However, 88% lack confidence that their employer will support them in understanding the technology. - Moreover, 80% of companies don't have an AI implementation plan.
We offer a unique program to guide teams in their digital evolution, specifically designed to effectively prepare your company for AI.
What does the Start AI program cost?
The standard price for the Start AI program is €5,468.
However, if you are an SME you may be eligible for subsidies through VLAIO & Digital Wallonia, reducing your cost by approximately 70%. With the subsidy, you pay only €1,645 in Flanders and €1,500 in Wallonia, making it an exceptional value to accelerate your AI journey.
Is it worth it without the subsidy?
Absolutely. The Start AI program delivers immense value by providing personalised, in-depth support from AI and data experts tailored to your unique business needs. By identifying AI opportunities, developing a concrete roadmap, and initiating implementation, the program offers benefits that far exceed the investment. Companies often find that the efficiencies and innovations gained quickly surpass the program's cost.
What does a typical timeline look like?
The program is designed to be both flexible and efficient, typically spanning four days:
Day 1: Inspiration & Introduction - Live inspiration session showcasing AI possibilities - Basic introduction to AI tools like ChatGPT - Brainstorming session on potential use cases
Day 2 & 3: Audit & Research - One-on-one conversations with key decision-makers - Deep dive into your business data and processes - Identification of specific AI opportunities - Development of Proof of Concepts (PoCs) where relevant
Day 4: Strategy & Activation - Presentation of findings, strategies, and recommendations - Development of an actionable AI roadmap - Discussion of next steps and implementation plan
Does it need to be scheduled in one week?
Most often, it isn't. We understand that every organization has unique scheduling needs. While the core program encompasses four days, we offer flexibility in planning. The sessions can be spread over a period that suits your team's availability, typically within a three-month window. Our goal is to accommodate your schedule to ensure maximum participation and impact.
