Create your own AI Assistant in 60 minutes
Karthikeyan Elangovan
Karthikeyan Elangovan is on a mission to make humans feel more human, a quality more vital than ever in the age of AI. With a Master’s in Artificial Intelligence from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, he combines deep technical expertise with a human-centered vision. After building ventures like Radius Hire and Mirai Health, which develop intelligent AI systems to improve efficiency, Karthikyean realized his greatest impact comes from education. He now teaches professionals and organizations how to use AI effectively, boosting efficiency while allowing people to focus on the work they truly love. Over the past two years, he has trained teams from Accenture, Allianz Munich, Deloitte, University of Amsterdam, Tommy Hilfiger, and others to integrate AI meaningfully into their daily work.

I’ll show you how to use the right AI tools and systems to create an AI Assistant that works just for you - at your job or at home. Zero technical skills needed!
During the expert session, Karthikeyan Elangovan engages participants through a series of interactive activities and a Q&A.
Discover how to identify and eliminate time-consuming, routine tasks using AI tools.
Learn step-by-step how to build a personalized AI assistant tailored to your daily needs — no technical skills required.
Understand which AI systems can best enhance your productivity at work and at home.
In his comprehensive session, Kartik Elangovan presents a compelling case for an AI first future, arguing that artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept but an immediate tool for operational efficiency. Elangovan, whose mission is to automate mundane tasks so humans can focus on creative pursuits, demonstrates how to move beyond the hype of AI to practical, everyday integration.
A significant portion of the lecture is dedicated to mastering communication with AI through prompt engineering. Elangovan shares a vital shortcut for users who struggle with complex frameworks: simply asking the AI itself to generate a high quality prompt based on a natural language description.
He showcases the multimodal capabilities of the Google Gemini ecosystem, demonstrating how a single tool can generate professional event posters via image generation, high fidelity videos through the Veo engine, and even audio podcasts from static documents.
The core of the masterclass focuses on building custom AI assistants, which Elangovan compares to hiring a 24/7 digital intern. Using Gemini Gems, he walks the audience through a real-time use case: automating proposal generation.
He explains the two essential pillars of any assistant: instructions and knowledge base. By providing a structured framework such as 'problem, solution, impact, ROI, and timeline', and uploading reference documents for the AI to shadow, users can create assistants that perfectly mimic their professional tone and requirements.
Beyond simple text output, Elangovan introduces advanced features like the canvas for direct document editing and the ability to convert a text proposal into a fully functioning webpage with a single click. During the Q&A session, he addresses critical concerns regarding GDPR compliance and data privacy, advising users to anonymize sensitive information and use AI settings that prevent model training on personal data.
He concludes with a poignant reminder that as AI handles 90 percent of operational tasks, the true value of the future professional lies in their self-awareness and the ability to foster genuine human connections.
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
Stop doing boring, repetitive tasks. In this one-hour session, you'll learn the secret to building your own AI assistant. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Karthikeyan, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
