What does AI actually look like at the bench? In this interview-style session, Andreas will share how he uses tools like ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion in real shop situations, from troubleshooting equipment and refining enameling processes to building pricing structures, improving engraving artwork, and training new staff.

The discussion also takes an honest look at the limits of AI: when it saves time, when it doesn't, and how to prompt effectively. Designed for bench jewelers and shop owners, this session offers a practical, experience-based perspective on integrating AI into everyday workflow
