Eine Werbeagentur ohne KI? Das war gestern. Bei April5 GmbH sieht man, wie Bild- und Videoproduktion mit den richtigen Tools schneller, konsistenter und sicherer wird.

Was passiert im halbtägigen Workshop:
• Tools vergleichen, nicht nur anschauen: Wir testen die führenden Bild- und Video-KI-Optionen, bewerten Qualität, Kosten und Workflow-Tauglichkeit.
• Prompting, das liefert: Wiederholbare Prompts für Moodboards, Storyboards und Variationen.
• Datenschutz ohne Grauzonen: Rechte, Hosting, Policies – was ihr freigeben dürft und wo Risiken liegen.
• Und ja: Pizza. Weil gute Ideen warm serviert werden.

Drei klare Learnings:
• KI ersetzt keine Kreativität, sie beschleunigt sie.
• Datenschutz ist machbar – mit klaren Voraussetzungen und Prozessen.
• Gemeinsames Testen vereint Kreativ und Projektmanagement: gleiche Ziele, bessere Ergebnisse.

💬 Schreibt mir eine Nachricht oder kommentiert: 
Welche KI-Herausforderung beschäftigt Euch gerade am meisten? 
Welche KI-Tools nutzt Ihr im Bereich Bild- und Video?

𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘀 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗻? 𝗞𝗜-𝗨𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗵𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝘂𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝗶 𝗺𝗶𝗿 𝗞𝗜-𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀.

Klingt eigentlich paradox?

Ist es aber nicht.

Gerade KI-Unternehmen sehen vor lauter Bäumen den Wald nicht mehr.

Sie entwickeln komplexe Algorithmen, trainieren Modelle und bauen technische Infrastrukturen. Aber die einfachen, administrativen Prozesse im eigenen Unternehmen? Laufen manuell.

Das Problem:
→ Hochspezialisierte Techniker übersehen banale Automatisierungen
→ Jeder nutzt unterschiedliche Tools – Schatten-IT entsteht
→ Das eigene Team hat keinen einheitlichen Wissensstand

Ein KI-Unternehmen, das Embedded-KI entwickelt, verschickt Angebote noch per Copy-Paste.

Ein anderes erstellt Newsletter manuell, obwohl die Technologie dafür längst existiert.

Warum?

Weil technische Tiefe nicht automatisch strategische Breite bedeutet.

Drei Gründe, warum selbst KI-Profis Workshops buchen:
• Perspektivwechsel: Externe Impulse zeigen blinde Flecken auf
• Team-Alignment: Alle auf einen Wissensstand bringen verhindert Wildwuchs
• Quick Wins: Einfache Automatisierungen, die täglich Stunden sparen

Die Ironie: Wer KI verkauft, nutzt sie oft nicht selbst optimal.

Kennst du das auch? Dann lass uns reden.

𝐈𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐞 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐭.


Sowohl aus meinem täglichen Workflow, als auch aus meinen Schulungen.

Nicht, weil ChatGPT „schlecht“ wäre – im Gegenteil. Aber weil ich irgendwann gemerkt habe: Ich arbeite mehr für das Tool, als das Tool für mich. Zu viele Workarounds, zu wenig Struktur, zu viel Copy & Paste.

Also habe ich konsequent umgestellt:
Raus aus ChatGPT, rein in Langdock als mein zentrales KI-Cockpit.

Warum?

𝟏. 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐊𝐈-𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐭 𝐧𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐬:
ChatGPT = im Kern ein Anbieter, ein Stack.
Langdock = Zugriff auf über 40 KI-Modelle verschiedener Anbieter.
Ergebnis: Ich wähle das Modell passend zum Use Case – Text, Code, Analyse, Kreativarbeit – statt alles durch dieselbe Engine zu jagen.

𝟐. 𝐄𝐔-𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐮𝐭𝐳, 𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐭 𝐰𝐞𝐡 𝐭𝐮𝐭
Meine Daten, Notizen, Dokumente liegen ungern irgendwo „in der Welt“.
Langdock setzt auf Hosting in der EU und ist klar auf europäische Datenschutzanforderungen ausgerichtet.
Für mich persönlich ein gutes Gefühl: Ich kann ernsthafte Inhalte bearbeiten, ohne jedes Mal innerlich abzuwägen.

𝟑. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐦 𝐎𝐫𝐭 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐭
Was ich früher mit 3–4 Tabs, Copy & Paste und Notizen gelöst habe, geht jetzt in einer Oberfläche:
Persönliche Promptbibliothek (meine besten Prompts, sauber sortiert)
Projektordner mit Dokumenten, die ich gemeinsam mit KI bearbeite
Workflows/Automatisierungen, die wiederkehrende Aufgaben übernehmen
Das fühlt sich weniger nach „Chatbot“ und mehr nach „Arbeitsumgebung“ an.

𝟒. 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐢𝐬: 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐡 𝐤𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐕𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐢𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐡𝐫 𝐟ü𝐫 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓
Privat: Der Preisunterschied ist minimal – beide bewegen sich in ähnlichen Regionen.
Business: Langdock ist sogar ca. 5 € günstiger pro Nutzer und Monat als ChatGPT Business.
Wenn der Preis fast gleich ist, bleibt die Frage: Wo bekomme ich mehr Struktur, Flexibilität und Kontrolle für mein Geld?

𝐌𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬ö𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐬 𝐅𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐭:
ChatGPT ist ein starkes Werkzeug – aber als Basis für meinen gesamten KI-Workflow reicht mir „nur Chat“ nicht mehr.
Langdock ist für mich die bessere Schaltzentrale: Multi-Model, EU-gehostet, workflow-orientiert und preislich absolut konkurrenzfähig.

Wer heute noch mit einem einzigen KI-Tool im Browser-Tab arbeitet, nutzt nur einen Bruchteil des Potenzials.
Langdock ist für mich die logische Weiterentwicklung: weg vom Spielzeug-Chat, hin zur echten KI-Arbeitsumgebung.

𝐖𝐢𝐞 𝐠𝐮𝐭 𝐞𝐫𝐳𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐞𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐆𝐏𝐓? 😅

Ich selbst nutze ChatGPT gar nicht mehr. Meine Tochter schon. Ich habe ihr einfach meinen Login gegeben - denn bisher hatte sie nur den kostenlosen Account genutzt. Aber über Ihr Feedback musste ich schmunzeln.

Und wisst ihr, was das Schönste daran ist?

Sie kommuniziert mit der KI komplett anders als ich. Freundschaftlich, emotional, als wäre ChatGPT ihr bester Freund. Ich war eher der „Gib mir schnell und pragmatisch eine Antwort"-Typ.

Beide Wege funktionieren. Beide bringen Ergebnisse.

Das ist das Faszinierende an KI: Jeder findet seinen eigenen Weg damit zu arbeiten. Es gibt kein richtig oder falsch. Nur das, was für einen selbst passt.

Formal, kumpelhaft, strukturiert oder chaotisch – solange es für euch funktioniert, ist nichts falsch daran. Und genau das macht die Technologie so wertvoll – sie passt sich an uns an, nicht umgekehrt.

Meine Tochter hat ihren Weg gefunden. 
Wie hast Du Deinen Chat "erzogen"?? Bleibt Ihr höflich oder geht's auch mal richtig zur Sache? 😊

Google verteilt jetzt Badges für Chrome DevTools.

Entwickler können sich digitale Abzeichen verdienen. Für das Nutzen von Browser-Tools.

Die Frage dahinter: Was motiviert wirklich?

Echte Entwickler lernen, weil sie Probleme lösen wollen. Nicht für ein Badge im Profil. Die Gamification-Strategie mag bei manchen funktionieren – aber sie lenkt vom Wesentlichen ab.

Kompetenz zeigt sich im Code, nicht in der Badge-Sammlung.

Vielleicht ist es Zeit, sich zu fragen: Braucht es wirklich externe Belohnungssysteme, um sich weiterzubilden? Oder reicht die Freude am Handwerk?

Was denkt ihr: Sinnvolle Motivation oder überflüssige Spielerei?

SixFigures

The first school for high-tech sales in Israel.

SixFigures was launched for the purpose of making the high-tech sales industry accessible to anyone wishing to pursue a career in one of the most challenging, fulfilling and profitable fields in the market.

Israeli high-tech has always been fertile ground for jobs in sales, with steadily growing demand for great salespeople. Presently most accreditation programs target those with a background in the field. The need for a training program for non-high-tech people – especially with the job mobility brought about by Covid-19 – has led to the establishment of SixFigures.

At SixFigures, Israel’s sales pros will teach you everything you need to know to embark on a career in sales with confidence and passion, giving you an edge in a variety of sales positions that Israeli high-tech has to offer.

Account Executive @ GiddyUp 🚀 | All about sales | 7 Languages |

A sales aficionada (10+ years as an Account Executive) sharing the good, the ludicrous and the glorious.

Rosie Purr

This year, I stopped waiting.

Stopped waiting for the right moment.
To feel ready.

I decided to 10x everything. 
Sales.
My side hustle.
Fitness & nutrition.
Sales content creation.

Most people stay stuck because they need guarantees.
I learned that momentum comes from moving *before* you’re sure.

So I’m throwing bigger volume. 
More reps. 
Adjusting on the go instead of overthinking every step.

I’ve just celebrated my birthday (photos below),
and I’m entering this year with an upgraded attitude:
patiently trusting the process with mountains of action. 🎂

Thank me later and namaste

I had one
major
goal.

Design a life I don’t need a vacation from.

Not waiting for the weekends. 
Not counting back to holidays. 
Not dreading Mondays. 

The fixed office 9-5 was never my thing *personally*.
It went against my very nature and creative energy. 

For me, that meant creating a rhythm that actually fits who I am.
Some days I work psycho-mode late nights.
Other days call for more balance.

I manage my energy intentionally, not by following a rigid schedule just because “that’s how it has always been done.”
And yes I’m fully aware it’s not for everyone. But it's 100% for me. 

Having this autonomy with remote tech sales changed everything.
I don’t want week days to pass faster.
I feel invigorated with my work.
I don’t feel trapped in a cycle I didn’t choose.

Flexibility and accountability --> my winning combo

12 years of sales in 60 seconds

Let's gooo

12 + years Account Executive 🪩 Founder @ Step Into Tech Sales | Sales skits and bits | 100 Powerful Women in Sales x2 | 7 languages | Pianist and Dancer

12 years of sales in 60 seconds...rapid fire tips (I wish I knew earlier) 


1. Budgets become flexible with compelling business cases.
2. "I need more time to think" objection.
3. Buyer process > sales process. 
4. Multi-threading is not about adding more contacts. It's about influence.
