Frontier AI, explained by someone who builds with it every day.
Keynotes, hands-on AI training and guest lectures on AI agents, ChatGPT and Copilot, AI coding and automation. For companies, SMEs, schools and anyone who is curious, on location across Flanders and the Netherlands. No hype, no demo theatre: real examples from a studio that runs on AI.
Same honesty for every audience. The depth, the examples and the format change.
Teams that already tried ChatGPT or Copilot but don’t have AI in their week yet. We work on your own tasks, not on generic examples.
For classes, study programmes and teachers. What AI really is, how to use it to learn (without letting it think for you), and how to build something yourself.
You follow every AI release and want to go from reading to building: agents, local models, your own site or tool.
Developers who want agents in their codebase: ask for the technical edition.
Each theme comes from work I do every week. Combine them, or let me tailor one to your sector.
One person runs a whole web studio with a team of AI agents. This is how it works, and how you set up your first one.
From a blank page to a live URL in one session, with AI agents doing the typing and you making the decisions.
No AI strategy deck. Three tasks from your own week, automated, with you staying in control.
Short videos and voice-overs for your brand, made with AI, and where the line is.
What a language model really is, what agents can and can’t do, and where this is heading. No hype, no doom.
Everyone on your team uses AI, but rarely the same way. One shared routine changes that.
Running AI models on your own machine: private, offline, and more capable than you’d expect.
Combine themes or have one tailored to your sector, team or class.
Indicative starting prices, excl. VAT. After a short call you get a proposal for your audience, with a fixed price.
For a staff day, kick-off, event or conference. Any audience size.
Everyone builds. One model, a few labs, and a routine your team still uses next week.
Morning foundations, afternoon on your own cases. Can be split over several sessions or teams.
Lecture or workshop per class or group, adapted to age and study programme.
Two days, just you: build your own app or workflow from zero. €1,000 excl. VAT.
Online follow-up of 60–90 min a few weeks later: questions, adjusting, next steps. From €150 excl. VAT.
Prices are indicative starting prices. Travel outside Flanders and very large groups are quoted separately.
A 30-minute call about your audience, your goal and what they already know.
Theme, format, programme and a fixed price, in writing.
I adapt examples and exercises to your sector, tools and level.
Live, on location, in Dutch or English. Fewer slides, more doing.
Slides, resource list and prompt pack. Optional coaching a few weeks later.
I don’t teach AI from slides. I run my studio on it.
I’m Ruben Thielman, founder of Studio Thielman in Lokeren (Belgium). I build and host websites for local businesses, and I build them with AI coding agents.
Behind the studio sits a team of AI agents that I set up and steer myself: they help build client sites, run QA before launch, draft outreach and keep Notion, mail and WhatsApp follow-ups moving. I also work with AI video and voice, connect tools through MCP, run models locally on a Mac Studio and experiment with an AI trading desk.
That’s what I bring to a talk: what works, what breaks, and where you as a human stay in charge.
“Thank you Ruben for integrating AI even more in our daily workflow. You were calm, eager to explain and listened to what we needed.”
In Dutch or English, your choice.
On location at your company, school or event, anywhere in Flanders (from Lokeren and the Waasland to Ghent, Antwerp and Brussels) and in the Netherlands. Online is possible in consultation.
No. Keynotes and the student edition need no prior knowledge. For hands-on workshops, participants bring a laptop; a free account of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot is enough to start.
Since 2 February 2025, organisations that use AI must take measures for sufficient AI literacy among their staff (art. 4). Theme 06 is built for that. It is training, not legal advice.
Keynote from €450, half-day workshop from €500 (up to 8 people, +€50 per extra person), full day from €900, school session from €250. All excl. VAT. You get a fixed price in the proposal.
A talk or keynote (60–90 min) explains and demonstrates for an audience of any size. In a hands-on workshop (half or full day, max. 15 people) everyone works on their own laptop and leaves with something that works: prompts, a workflow or a first agent.
Yes. The school edition fits a lesson slot up to half a day: what AI really is, how to learn with it without cheating, and optionally a lab where students build their own site with AI. From €250 excl. VAT per session.
Yes. The method works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Microsoft Copilot. We use the tool your team already has, and agree on that in the prep call.
Ideally three to four weeks ahead, so there is time for the prep call and tailoring. Shorter notice: just ask.
Tell me a bit about your audience. You get a personal reply with a proposal or a few questions.
