Review: VR Business Club Online Event October 22 – From Prompt to Scalable Automation

The VR Business Club’s online event focused on how companies can move from individual prompts to scalable AI automation. Dr. Peter Schopf, founder of SMC – Schopf Meta Consult GmbH, hosted the event and provided practical insights into the use of generative AI in organizations.

The focus was on mini-demos and a real-life practical example from complaint management at E.ON. Dr. Schopf presented a step-by-step model describing the transition from simple AI assistants to co-pilots, autopilots, and AI agents. He discussed the opportunities, risks, and governance aspects of the rollout.

Participants learned:
• Where it is most worthwhile to start with AI
• How use cases can be prioritized sensibly
• What can already be implemented today with autopilots and AI agents
• What the future of business automation might look like

In terms of content, Dr. Schopf covered a wide range of topics, from the exponential development of computing power and the differences between classical and generative AI to the cultural prerequisites for successful AI implementation. He emphasized that target visions and leadership skills are crucial for sustainable digitization strategies.

Two demos showed specific AI applications: a tool for automatically creating infographics and a system for process visualization. Dr. Schopf also explained how interoperability between AI systems can be enabled via protocols such as MCP.

The event concluded with an open Q&A session and an invitation to participants to sign up for further discussions and future updates on E.ON’s AI implementation.

Conclusion:
A compact and practical impulse that made it clear that the path from prompts to automation depends less on technology and more on strategy, governance, and culture.
