About Samy and AI
AI driven Digital Innovation
Samy is an AI-supported innovation generalist from Tolksdorf.digital and origin of various AI agents for SME projects. He is in contact with users and supports them in innovation, digitization, IT, and other topics. His colleague and IT expert AI agent Alan provides automatic assistance. AI agent Simone checks compliance with ethics, company values, and governance. Her answers are based on an extensive database, but may contain errors. Responsibility for use lies with the user, so answers should always be checked..
Why AI-driven innovation?
We developed Samy to make serious, value-based AI assistance usable in companies - with a focus on data protection, professionalism and clarity. Samy is part of our “Innovation with Joy” vision and supports the 7C-CI/CD Method for structured innovation management.
Can customers use Samy + Team?
Of course! Customers can also get their own instance—on-premises or hosted in a data center of their choice.
What else can Samy + AI Team be used for?
- For example, on websites as a competent contact available 24/7
- Support for the innovation process (e.g., Experience Innovation 7C-CI/CD—see below)
- For automated internal processes (workflow)
- As a completely open sparring partner
- Find and prepare information across data silos
- And much more
Which LLM models can be used?
In principle, the usual large language models (LLM) can be set up and used according to customer requirements. The use case should also be taken into account. Here, the French AI hosted in the EU by https://chat.mistral.ai is used.
- As an innovation generalist, Samy uses the LLM mistral large 2411.
- Samy's “colleague” Alan, an IT expert, uses the LLM mistral codestral2501.
Users don't need to worry about who does what; they organize themselves.

🤝 AI as Part of the Team – Our Core Understanding at Tolksdorf.digital
At Tolksdorf.digital we see Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a Business Partner or a extremly performant Team Member, with a ton of knowledge—but like any team member, it needs good, clear conditions (context) to work well. AI is always part of processes whose results are represented by process owners.
- Great results don't happen by chance – they require respectful communication, clear instructions, and well-designed processes 7C-CI/CD.
- AI is not human and has no feelings – however, AI can respond to this and always give factual answers.
- AI works based on data, not intuition – it needs context, clarity of goals, and regular feedback.
- AI can make mistakes, even when trying its best. That’s why we, as a company, take responsibility for recognizing, correcting, and managing those errors through appropriate safeguards.
This attitude is the basis for effectiveness and efficiency and makes our ethical approach uniform and humane:
We don’t treat AI as a magical tool, but as part of a collegial system – with responsibilities, boundaries, and a shared mission: better decisions, better solutions, better collaboration.
🎓 Learning with AI – Structured, Not Random
AI is not a replacement for education – but when used correctly, it becomes a catalyst for active and meaningful learning.
Our approach to learning with AI:
- AI as a coach or mentor: Not aimless chatting, but focused support within a structured learning process – e.g., following SCRUM or 6C-CI/CD principles.
- Combining sources: Video content, expert literature, web research, and AI work best in synergy.
- Iterative learning: Develop ideas, test them, reflect – and validate with AI.
- Practical relevance: Apply knowledge, deepen understanding, and anchor it sustainably.
This turns AI from a gimmick into a serious learning partner for individuals, teams, and organizations.
