Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before you start working differently.

Results
01 What will be different after the workshop? +
Tasks that now eat up half your day will be done in minutes. Not because you’ll work faster, but because the AI does the work while you review and steer. You leave with a list: this tool, this task, starting on this date. People who go through the workshop don’t ask “can AI help”. They ask why they didn’t start sooner.
02 How quickly will I see a difference? +
From your first working day after the workshop. By the second session you’re already working on your own tasks with AI tools and seeing concrete results. The last session ends with a checklist that starts working right away, not “someday”. For development teams the ROI is measurable within the first quarter: the git log shows 3-4x more code per person.
03 Do you have a real-world example? +
A software company rolled the program out to the whole team. Five people left. With 19 developers, the team now ships 30% more than it shipped with 24. Every developer gets an individual productivity report: numbers from the git log, not impressions from a retrospective. For individuals: an HR person cut writing a job description from 45 minutes to 6. An accountant generates monthly client reports in a third of the time.
How it works
04 Do I need any technical background? +
No. If you can write an email, you know enough. The AI tools we use in the workshop work through conversation: you describe what you need, you get a result, you adjust it. No coding, no installations, no technical jargon. Developers have their own program (the Superhuman Department) that goes considerably deeper into the technical detail.
05 What does a typical session look like? +
You open your laptop and you work. No slides. No lectures about what AI can do. Instead you see for yourself what it can do when you give it the right task. Your task, from your job. Each of the 5 sessions has a concrete focus: from vibe coding and an AI assistant for emails, through analysing data without formulas, to a final plan that starts working from next Monday.
06 Which tools will I learn to use? +
There are more than 50 serious generative AI tools on the market. In the workshop we work through the ones that are relevant to your job. Text assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, Mistral, DeepSeek. Image generation and editing: Midjourney, DALL-E, Adobe Firefly, Ideogram, Flux. Video and audio: Runway, Sora, HeyGen, ElevenLabs, Suno. Coding: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Replit. Productivity: Notion AI, Gamma, Napkin AI, Beautiful.ai, Otter.ai. Data analysis: ChatGPT Advanced Data Analysis, Claude with CSV upload, Julius AI.

Which of these tools you’ll use depends on what you do. A lawyer doesn’t need Midjourney, and a designer doesn’t need Julius AI. But the point of the workshop isn’t to learn 20 tools. The point is to master the principles of working with one or two tools to the level where you actually use them every day. Once you understand how to talk to the AI, how to structure a prompt, how to iterate on a result, switching to any other tool becomes trivial. The interfaces differ, the logic is the same. That’s what stays with you after the workshop.
07 What if I get stuck on something after the workshop? +
Access to the materials and resources stays with you after the workshop too. If you get stuck on a specific task, you reach out to info@institutzaui.hr and we’ll sort it out. We don’t leave people hanging once they’ve paid.
Programs and pricing
08 What is the Superhuman Department for €6.000? +
A program for an entire development team moving from classic programming to AI-driven development. It includes Claude Code training, setting up the environment, adapting your workflow, and working on your production tasks from day one. A single junior developer costs more per year. This program lifts the whole team. Real-world results: 3-4x more code per developer, the team ships 30% more with fewer people, ROI visible in the first quarter.
09 How much does an individual workshop cost? +
In-person workshop in Zagreb: €750 for 10 hours (5 sessions × 2 hours). Online workshop via Zoom: €500 for the same curriculum and scope. Both include all materials, individual feedback, a personal action plan, and access to resources afterwards. No hidden costs, no upsell, no “premium” packages. The price covers everything.
10 What if I don’t like the workshop? +
Both the in-person and online workshops come with a money-back guarantee. If after the first session you decide this isn’t for you, we arrange a refund. No pressure, no awkwardness. We’d rather give the money back than work with someone it doesn’t suit. The guarantee exists because we believe quality isn’t sold under pressure.
11 Is this only for companies or for individuals too? +
Both. The workshops are available to individuals and businesses alike. Freelancers, sole traders, corporate teams. The content adapts to your job, not the other way around. Same principle, different tasks.
EU AI Act
12 Do I need to worry about the EU AI Act? +
If your company uses any AI tool in its operations, yes. Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 has been in force since August 2024. Article 4 sets out an AI literacy obligation for all employees who work with AI systems, and that obligation applies from February 2025. Penalties for non-compliance reach up to 35 million euros or 7% of global turnover. This isn’t something that “might” apply to you. If you use ChatGPT for work emails, you’re already within the scope of the regulation.
13 What specifically does my company need to do? +
Six steps: list every AI system you use, classify them by risk level, run a conformity assessment for the high-risk ones, document how they’re used, ensure human oversight, and train your employees. It sounds complicated, but most companies can do the basic compliance work in weeks, not months. The key is to start with an inventory: what you use, who uses it, what for.
14 Do you help with EU AI Act compliance? +
Yes. We handle the AI system inventory, risk classification, employee training under Article 4, and preparing internal documentation. A detailed guide for Croatian companies is available at institutzaui.hr/eu-ai-act. The workshop itself satisfies part of the AI literacy obligation, because participants leave with a concrete understanding of how AI tools work, where the limits are, and what they may and may not do with data.
Practical
15 Where and when are the workshops held? +
In person in Zagreb (Ulica grada Vukovara 269D, 6th floor) or at your location. Online via Zoom with no location restriction. The schedule is flexible: 5 sessions of 2 hours each per week, fitted around your calendar. No fixed groups and no waiting for a session to fill up.
16 Can the workshop be in English? +
Yes. Individual and corporate workshops are available in Croatian and English. We also work with the IEDC Bled School of Management on programs for international participants.
17 Who runs the workshop? +
Patricija Topić, founder of the Institute for Artificial Intelligence. PhD AI Researcher at the University of Dubrovnik and the University of Zagreb (EFZG), with IBM Generative AI and IBM AI Developer certifications. Student of the year at the Faculty of Political Science with 5 consecutive Dean’s Awards. She graduated in strategic communication at FPZG, and her thesis led to a paper published with Springer. She completed a second master’s at the RRiF University of Applied Sciences in corporate finance, with a thesis on the taxation of cryptocurrencies in Croatia. On the side: a completed secondary music school (piano) and 7 years playing in the Krsto Odak tamburica orchestra. People who combine analytical and creative thinking approach problems differently, and it shows in the way she runs the workshops. The technical part of the program is led by a team with 20+ years of experience in software development.
