Ask Mona Academy: A Practical Solution for Your Teams

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping every sector. Yet many organizations still struggle to truly embrace these new tools. The real question is: how can you turn this revolution into an opportunity for your teams?

At Karuna-Shechen, an NGO founded by Matthieu Ricard working in India and Nepal to improve access to education, this reflection became urgent. Their goal? Freeing up valuable time from repetitive tasks to better focus on impact in the field, while staying true to their strong ethical values. To meet this challenge, Karuna-Shechen turned to Ask Mona Academy to provide a hands-on AI training program tailored for their teams.

The Karuna-Shechen Example

For this session, Valentin Schmite, co-founder of Ask Mona, led an engaging and practical training. The objective was clear: show teams how to integrate AI smoothly into their daily missions.

No overwhelming technical jargon, just concrete use cases: writing, communications, project management, admin tasks… all adapted to the reality of each participant. The result? Every team member walked away with skills they could immediately put into practice.

During the session, participants, many of whom were discovering AI for the first time, explored how to apply these tools in simple, practical ways: from mastering prompt scripting to drafting grant applications, streamlining reports, and handling everyday tasks more efficiently. At every step, the emphasis was on using AI ethically and responsibly.

Learning by Doing

Between fears of being replaced and a lack of adapted training, many employees hesitate to use AI. Without proper guidance, organizations risk missing out on innovations that can simplify workflows, improve communication, and boost impact.

At Ask Mona, our method combines understanding, experimentation, and real-world application. This way, teams quickly gain confidence and feel empowered to innovate.

“Let’s avoid killing a fly with a bazooka.”

This unexpected quote illustrates today’s reality: too often, the wrong tools are used for the wrong tasks, or people simply don’t know that better ones exist. To harness AI responsibly, you need both clarity on the problem you want to solve and a vision for how to get there.

Benefits for Organizations

Driving Efficiency

From automating routine tasks to accelerating content creation and structuring information, AI helps organizations save valuable time. And these gains are measurable. Take our collaboration with the Grand Palais, where our chatbot Betty freed up the equivalent of 40 working days for the museum staff (read the full story here).

Far from replacing human work, AI becomes an inspiration tool that sparks fresh ideas and new opportunities. When discovered in a safe and supportive environment, it generates enthusiasm and rekindles a spirit of exploration and innovation.

By investing in AI training today, you prepare your teams for the future of work and show your partners that your organization is forward-looking and ready to innovate.
