AI Discovery Workshop

AI Discovery Workshops

Cut through the AI noise.
Build a plan that actually works.

Your team is already experimenting with AI. Our workshops give your leadership clarity on where it fits, what tools to use, what to build — and how to move forward with confidence.

What are the 'quick wins' for our organisation?

How should we build AI into our strategy?

Should we be deploying AI agents — or is it too early?

The Reality

AI is moving fast. Most businesses are either overwhelmed or underinvesting.

Your people are already using ChatGPT, Copilot, and other AI tools — often without your IT team knowing. Without a strategy, you're missing the biggest opportunities while exposing your business to risks you haven't considered.

You're not sure which AI tools are worth paying for — and whether AI agents are real or just hype

🔒

Staff are feeding sensitive data into AI tools with no governance in place

🎯

You know AI could save time and money, but don't know where to start

🔧

People are "vibe coding" internal tools with AI — exciting but risky

🤔

You're wondering if AI will fundamentally change your service offering — and when

Two Workshop Tracks

Choose your focus — or book both

Each workshop is a focused half-day session. Book one or both depending on your team's needs.

Track 01

AI Strategy for Your Business

For business owners, senior leadership, and managers making decisions about AI investment.

A half-day session focused on the strategic questions that matter most — which tools to invest in, where the real ROI lives, and how to manage the risks that come with AI adoption.

You'll leave with

A prioritised AI roadmap, a tool recommendation stack tailored to your business, an AI policy template, and cost estimates for your top 3 opportunities.

🧭

Tool & Model Landscape

Which AI tools and models are best suited to your workflows? We cut through the hype and give you an honest assessment based on what we see working across industries.

Build, Buy, or Wait?

For the knowledge work that's core to your service, we help you understand the realistic timeline for AI capability and where the smart bets are right now.

🏢

Your Existing Ecosystem

Already in the Microsoft or Google stack? We'll show you what Copilot and native AI can already do — and where you might need to think more broadly.

🛡️

Security & Cultural Risks

What are the real data security implications? How do you manage shadow AI usage? We help you craft a practical acceptable-use policy.

💰

Costs & ROI

Realistic cost modelling for AI adoption — licensing, implementation, training, and ongoing maintenance. We show you where the payback is fastest.

🚀

Internal Efficiency vs. Customer-Facing AI

Two very different strategies with different risk profiles. We help you prioritise based on your business goals and appetite for change.

🤖

AI Agents: Beyond the Chatbot

AI agents can now browse the web, write code, manage workflows, and chain complex tasks — autonomously. We cut through the noise: what's genuinely useful today, when to deploy agents vs. copilots, and the governance implications of giving AI the ability to act on your behalf.

Track 02

Connecting AI to Your Workflows

For technical leads, IT managers, and operations teams ready to move from strategy to implementation.

A hands-on session focused on practically integrating AI into your existing systems — using modern standards like MCP, building governance around AI-generated code, and connecting AI tools to your real data.

You'll leave with

A technical implementation plan, integration architecture recommendations, a vibe-coding governance policy, and hands-on experience with the tools that will drive your AI adoption.

🔌

MCP Servers & AI Integration

The Model Context Protocol is becoming the standard for connecting AI to business systems. We explain cloud-based vs local deployments, and the security and maintainability trade-offs.

🔑

Managing Tool Access & Policy

How to govern which AI tools have access to what data across your organisation. Role-based access, audit trails, and compliance frameworks.

⚙️

"Vibe Coding" — Risks & Opportunities

Your non-technical staff can now use AI to build tools and automate processes. Powerful, but 45% of AI-generated code contains vulnerabilities. We'll help you build a governance framework.

🧩

No-Code AI Automation

Live demonstrations of building AI-powered automations that connect to your real data sources — CRM, ERP, document management — without writing traditional code.

🔗

Practical Integration Patterns

How to connect AI assistants to your business systems using modern integration standards. We cover architecture patterns that scale with your organisation.

🤖

Building & Deploying AI Agents

From single-purpose agents to multi-agent orchestration — we cover the practical architecture, human-in-the-loop design patterns, and how MCP and tool-use APIs let agents safely interact with your business systems while maintaining observability and control.

How It Works

From first call to implementation

Pre-Workshop Discovery

We send a short assessment covering your tech stack, team capabilities, pain points, and AI goals. This ensures we hit the ground running on the day.

01
02

Workshop Day

A focused half-day (4-hour) session. Book one or both tracks — many clients run Strategy with leadership and Integration with their technical team.

Deliverables in 5 Days

Your complete output package — prioritised roadmap, policy templates, tool recommendations, and all supporting materials — delivered within one week.

04

90-Day AI Acceleration

Optional follow-up engagement with monthly check-ins, help standing up your first AI integrations, and ongoing advisory as you execute your roadmap.

Why Intranel

We don't just advise on AI — we build it.

Our recommendations come from real implementation experience across 50+ companies — not a generic framework.

🏗️

Builders, Not Just Consultants

We've delivered AI solutions across MedTech, AgriTech, Aerospace, and Financial Services. When we tell you what works, it's because we've built it.

🇳🇿

NZ Context, Global Expertise

We understand the NZ business landscape — Privacy Act considerations, local infrastructure, and the reality of being a small team in a fast-moving space.

🧠

Our Own AI Products

We built Saige LLM — an AI engine for natural language queries on your own data. We practice what we preach and invest in real AI R&D.

⚖️

Vendor-Neutral Advice

We're not reselling anyone's AI platform. Our recommendations are based purely on what's best for your business — Microsoft, Google, open-source, or custom.

🔧

Implementation Ready

Unlike pure advisory firms, we can take our own workshop recommendations and build them. Strategy and execution from the same team.

📊

Honest About What Doesn't Work

We'll tell you where AI isn't ready yet, where costs don't justify results, and where a simpler automation is the better answer. No hype, just clarity.

Who this is for

SME leadership teams (10–500 staff) Businesses in the Microsoft or Google ecosystem Companies whose staff are already using AI tools Technical teams ready to integrate AI into workflows Organisations that want practical advice from builders Teams considering AI for product or service delivery
