The 5 questions to ask before buying any AI tool. Plus 4 red flags during procurement and the 4-week pilot framework. Includes the Tool-Evaluation Scorecard as a PDF.

Welches AI-Tool für welchen Job? Der KI-Tool-Kompass für Schweizer KMU mit Lukas Huber, schnellstart.ai

What it is about

Whoever asks "which tool is the best?" buys the wrong one. The tool is not the variable. The variables are: use case, data, accountability, exit, economics. In 60 minutes you learn the framework to think every AI tool purchase through cleanly: industry-agnostic, with a Swiss data-protection lens, and no tool pitch at the end.

Frequently asked questions

When does the webinar take place?

We are gathering registrations now so we can pick a time that works for as many people as possible. As soon as we have enough registrations, we set the date and email you. Your registration is non-binding.

What is the Tool-Evaluation Scorecard?

An A4 PDF with 5 categories × 4 questions (20 total) for your next AI tool purchase. You answer them in 5 minutes and get a maturity score per category plus 3 prioritised next steps. Printable, shareable with your team.

Do I need prior experience with AI tools?

No. The framework is industry-agnostic and built for non-technical decision-makers. If you already use all 4 major tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot), you can apply the framework retroactively to existing tools.

Are you selling a specific tool?

No. schnellstart.ai is vendor-neutral. We teach the framework, you apply it to your concrete use case. No tool pitch, no affiliate.

What about Swiss data protection?

Question 2 of the framework is "Where does your data live?", we walk through typical SME data scenarios: when a US tool is fine (DPF-certified + DPA) and when Swiss alternatives like Euria/Infomaniak or Mistral are mandatory.

How long is the webinar?

Around 60 minutes total: 50 min content plus 10 min Q&A.

Is attendance free?

Yes, fully free. No hidden follow-up costs, no sales pitch.

Will I get the recording?

Yes. All registered attendees receive the recording after the webinar by email, together with the Tool-Evaluation Scorecard as a PDF.
