The Promptathon: the prompt competition that speeds up AI adoption in companies

Your teams compete on prompt challenges linked to their roles. By the end of the session, everyone knows how to use AI in their day-to-day work.

The concept

What is a corporate Promptathon?

A Promptathon is a prompt competition between teams, over half a day. Your employees receive challenges linked to their roles — writing a client email, analysing a data table, summarising a document — and must solve them with AI.

‍

No PowerPoint, no theory lecture. Your teams learn to use ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini by using them.

What the participants say

Honestly... I was expecting yet another theory course. Instead, in one day, my team came up with 3 concrete use cases that we still use. You really learn by doing, and well... you get caught up in the game too. My teams are still talking about it.

I've done quite a few AI training courses this year. None taught me as much as this Promptathon. Having to produce a real deliverable, as a team, against the clock... it forces you to really understand the tool. And we had a great laugh, honestly.

I was worried the competitive format would stress out teams who aren't comfortable with AI. In fact... it was the complete opposite. People who didn't even dare touch ChatGPT ended up pitching their project in front of everyone. I had never seen that with other formats.

Your FAQs

Frequently asked questions about the Promptathon

How can I train my teams in generative AI effectively?

Traditional e-learning courses have a drop-out rate of 85 to 90% (HBR, Gartner). For lasting results, choose a hands-on, in-person, group format where your employees work with AI on their real business topics. The Promptathon is designed for exactly that: 3 hours of team competition on challenges linked to your business, with prompts you can reuse the very next day.

What is the best way to train a company on ChatGPT and Copilot?

AI training works best when it is collective, hands-on and tied to teams' daily work. An event format like the Promptathon brings all employees to the same level in a few hours, by having them practise on ChatGPT, Copilot or Gemini with their own documents and processes. It is more effective than a series of individual e-learning modules.

How do I organise an AI event for a company seminar?

The Promptathon fits naturally into an annual seminar, a kick-off, a team day or an offsite. It is a turnkey 3-hour format, led by AI Sisters experts, with a tailor-made scenario built from your business challenges. In person at your premises or an event venue, hybrid or fully remote depending on your constraints. Allow 4 to 6 weeks of preparation for a successful event.

How much does corporate AI training cost?

The price of a Promptathon depends on the number of participants (from 20 to 200), how far the scenario is personalised, the format chosen (in person or remote) and any follow-on options (post-event follow-up, additional modules).

How can I measure the impact of AI training on my teams?

Concrete indicators to track: number of prompts produced per participant, average quality scored by our platform, AI usage rate in the following weeks, number of use cases deployed internally. The Promptathon naturally generates these KPIs through its scoring platform, and every participant leaves with traceable prompts they can use in their job straight away.

Do my employees need to have used ChatGPT before to take part?

No, there are no prerequisites. The Promptathon welcomes people of all levels: those discovering generative AI and those already using it every day. An opening AI Show lays the foundations for everyone, then teams are formed to mix levels. Beginners progress quickly alongside more advanced colleagues — the "everyone's level rises" effect.
