ESSEN DIGITALISIERT – We’re on board!
Day 2 presentation: AI knows nothing without your insights: Knowledge, processes, and a new team member
communicode at ESSEN DIGITALISIERT
AI rarely fails because of technical issues. More often than not, it lacks knowledge about the company, its processes, and the people behind them.
In our presentation, we’ll address the questions that are often overlooked amid all the AI hype: Where does the knowledge come from? Who verifies the results? And what does AI mean for teams and their current ways of working? Practical, honest, and without scaremongering – exactly how we experience AI ourselves.

Our presentation
We’ll be presenting a two-part talk on the second day of the event:
“AI knows nothing without your insights: Knowledge, processes, and a new team member”
📅 September 15, 2026
⏰ 10:30 a.m.
Mischa Wolfframm (Director of Consulting) and Stephanie Ebbert (UX Lead) discuss why AI projects often fail not because of the technology, but due to a lack of business knowledge, unclear processes, and a lack of accountability.
Using concrete examples from our day-to-day agency work, we’ll show
- why in-house expertise is the foundation for successful AI applications,
- how companies can remain GDPR-compliant in the process,
- who must take responsibility for AI results,
- and how AI is actually changing work practices and teams.
We’ll also provide insights into our own AI-supported workflow and demonstrate live how we use AI in projects today.
