Agenda

Part 1: FME Skills Builder

Designing Smarter AI Workflows in FME

AI can accelerate your workflows but only if it’s applied deliberately. In this 3-hour interactive morning workshop, you’ll explore how different AI approaches within FME produce different results and how to design workflows that are fit for purpose.

Using a realistic document-processing scenario relevant to organisations across the public and private sectors, you’ll compare three AI strategies inside FME and see how small design decisions significantly impact output quality.

In this session, you will:

  • Compare one-prompt AI approaches with segmented, task-specific workflows
  • Use specialised AI models for text, vision, and handwriting
  • See how data format (binary vs. raster) changes AI performance
  • Evaluate accuracy, structure, and reliability across different approaches

Why this matters

Many organisations are experimenting with AI but without structured workflow design, results can be inconsistent and difficult to trust. This workshop focuses on practical implementation inside FME, helping you:

  • Improve output quality
  • Reduce rework
  • Apply AI in a controlled and repeatable way
  • Make informed decisions about where AI adds value

Designed for anybody in a data role, including analysts, technical specialists, Data Leads, Team Leads, and more. This session is suitable for all FME experience levels. Workflows are prebuilt and guided, allowing you to focus on understanding design decisions rather than troubleshooting builds.
