About

From AI interest to practical adoption

Lucido helps teams move from “we should do something with AI” to practical workflows people actually use. Michiel tracks the fast-moving AI landscape every day, but the real value is translating that noise into concrete next steps for office-based teams.

Years in customer success and product, combined with hands-on AI building, mean he can bridge the gap between strategy and day-to-day execution. The focus is not more hype or another slide deck. It is safer usage, faster adoption, and useful automation that fits the way your team already works.

Workshops are built around real examples, real tools, and real constraints. That can mean reusable prompts, better SOPs, clearer internal guidelines, or lightweight automations for repetitive work. The goal is simple: leave with something your team can test immediately. Michiel speaks equally comfortably in English and Dutch.

Questions & Answers

What makes Lucido’s AI presentations unique?

Lucido’s presentations rely on storytelling—blending complex AI concepts into narratives that keep attention high and avoid dry, technical monologues. Each session balances theoretical introductions (so everyone has the same foundation) with practical use cases that show how AI works in the real world.

Responsible AI is woven throughout, providing guidelines and frameworks for ethical implementation. Presentations focus on SMEs and draw on experience with companies like Silverfin, Proximus, and Zoovu, making every example highly relevant. The core belief: AI has value for every team, not just the tech crowd.

How can Lucido help my business leverage AI?

Lucido supports organisations through three pillars: inspirational talks that spark understanding, deep-dive resources like articles and videos, and hands-on consultancy for tooling and workflow integration. Together, they bridge theory and practice so your team knows what to do next.

What industries does Lucido specialize in?

Lucido primarily partners with SMEs, especially those navigating data privacy and compliance questions such as GDPR or ISO. Based in Belgium, the work reflects European regulations and business realities, but the frameworks adapt well to other industries—all of which are feeling AI’s impact.

Can Lucido customize talks for specific company needs?

Yes. Talks can be tailored from high-level overviews to deep-dive workshops. Lucido also moderates AI conversations, panels, and philosophical debates. Duration ranges from 30-minute keynotes to half-day sessions, depending on outcomes you need. Moderation for panels and fireside chats is available too.

What real-world examples does Lucido share in presentations?

Expect demos of tools like NotebookLM, SANA.AI, Silverfin, N8N, Zapier, Wispr Flow, AnyLLM, ChatGPT, Gemini, Sora, SunoAI, Odeo, ReCraft, Flux, and Minimax. Case studies highlight companies such as LegalFly, Yuki, and gust.ai, including “day in the life” scenarios that show how these tools reshape work.

How can Lucido help overcome AI adoption challenges?

Lucido combines inspiration, resources, and implementation guidance. Teams learn the “why,” gain the “how,” and receive practical support to make new workflows stick. The goal: confident adoption instead of pilot purgatory.

What’s the typical format of a Lucido session?

Sessions open by establishing credibility, then switch to relatable storytelling. You’ll see day-in-the-life journeys, tool demos, practical prompts, EU AI Act implications, and interactive moments (quizzes, polls, live prompting) to keep energy high.

Are Lucido’s talks available in multiple languages?

Talks are available in Dutch and English. While French isn’t currently offered, it’s on the roadmap. Support materials and online content mirror this dual-language approach.

How does Lucido measure the impact of its sessions?

Impact is tracked through direct feedback, referrals, and follow-up engagements. Early indicators include newly confident teams, streamlined processes, and the number of conversations that continue after the session wraps.

What feedback have clients given about Lucido’s presentations?

Clients praise the mix of storytelling and tangible examples. They describe Lucido as approachable, collaborative, and receptive to feedback—someone who partners with them instead of talking at them.

What are Lucido’s key success stories?

Highlights include projects for Silverfin, social secretariats, UCLL, and BNP Paribas. Each engagement demonstrates Lucido’s ability to adapt content to different audiences while keeping impact front and centre.

How can Lucido help my team become AI-ready?

Lucido helps teams build literacy and confidence with educational talks, workshops, and guidance on AI risks, safe usage, and prompt design. Teams leave with the vocabulary, guardrails, and starter workflows to experiment responsibly.

What makes Lucido different from other AI consultants?

Youthful energy meets pragmatic experience. Lucido combines hands-on platform building (Clever, Proximus) with relentless curiosity and a no-hype approach. Expect practical, applicable solutions—not theoretical slide decks.

Can Lucido provide ongoing support after a session?

Yes. Lucido stays involved with tool setup, onboarding, and AI strategy, ensuring adoption doesn’t stall once the presentation ends.

How does Lucido stay up-to-date with AI trends?

Continuous learning is baked in: YouTube (think Matt Wolfe), X (formerly Twitter), books by voices like Yuval Noah Harari and Ethan Mollick, podcasts on product and AI, plus constant hands-on experimentation and conversations with peers.

What are the most common AI misconceptions Lucido addresses?

Misconceptions around AI’s limits, the effort involved, and the role of humans are front and centre. Lucido helps teams understand where AI shines, where it stumbles, and why human judgment is indispensable.

How does Lucido ensure data privacy in AI solutions?

By default, projects align with GDPR and ISO expectations. Lucido works with vetted partners to design secure solutions, prioritising data governance from the outset.

What’s Lucido’s approach to AI ethics?

Lucido avoids tools with questionable origins, respects copyright, and emphasises transparency, bias mitigation, and fairness. Ethics aren’t a slide at the end—they’re woven throughout the work.

Can Lucido assist with AI tool integration?

Yes. Lucido supports tool selection, proof-of-concept builds, and integration into existing workflows, helping teams adopt AI without derailing operations.

What’s the next step after attending a Lucido session?

Most teams start by piloting the ideas shared. Lucido can then provide further coaching, workflow workshops, or integration assistance to keep momentum going.

Who is Michiel beyond the slides?

Michiel has lived the corporate (Silverfin, Proximus) and startup (Clever) realities, understands the constraints of SMEs, and brings Toastmasters experience plus a genuine love of AI tinkering. He’s a translator between tech and people.

What is the long-term vision?

Lucido will expand from AI awareness into broader “future of work” consulting—covering automation, data privacy, and emerging tech strategies that keep companies adaptable.

Why are you working with SMEs?

SMEs are where curiosity meets opportunity. Lucido is pivoting toward office-based teams—HR, marketing, customer success, SaaS product—where repetitive tasks are ripe for automation and appetite for AI is growing fast.

Are your sessions online or in person?

Both. Online sessions feature live demos and interactive polls; in-person sessions add hands-on energy, extended Q&A, and collaborative exercises.

Do you have industry-specific scenarios?

Yes. Lucido already builds “day in the life” demos for accountants and can replicate that approach for law firms, logistics, creative agencies, and beyond.

What is your style?

Casual, conversational, and story-driven. No doom talk, no jargon overload—just humour, real examples, and actionable advice.

How interactive are your sessions?

Very. Quizzes, live prompting, tool demos, and polls keep energy high. Attendees leave with actual setups and next steps, not just inspiration.

What formats do you offer?

Lucido can combine talks with hands-on tool testing, internal hackathons, or live workflow-building sessions—mix and match formats to suit your goals.

How do you deal with AI fatigue?

By skipping the hype. Lucido focuses on safe, tailored use cases and practical wins instead of generic trend slides.

What do you think about the future of work?

Agentic AI, automation in SaaS, and smarter knowledge management will reshape work. Lucido is already integrating these themes into talks and workshops.

Will we soon be out of a job because of AI?

No. The philosophy is “automate the boring, elevate the human.” Creativity, strategy, and relationships remain uniquely human advantages.

Does Lucido currently have any partnerships?

Not yet. Lucido is open to collaborating with AI vendors, SaaS providers, and subject-matter experts where it adds value for clients.

Are you open to AI tool partnerships?

Yes. Potential collaborations include co-branded training, early-adopter programmes, or joint workshops when the fit is right.

Could others deliver Lucido-style sessions in the future?

Potentially. A “Lucido playbook” is in consideration so other facilitators can deliver with the same tone, depth, and quality.

How does Lucido handle pricing?

Everything is tailored. Pricing reflects the specific goals, scope, and follow-up support each client needs—so you only invest in what delivers value.

How quickly can clients see results?

Many teams move from “AI curious” to testing real tools after a single session. With follow-up support, foundational workflows can go live shortly after.

What’s your professional background?

Michiel started in customer success and operations at Silverfin (a SaaS platform for accountants), learning how to scale software while supporting people. Earlier roles at Clever and Proximus brought exposure to AI and chatbots when NLP was still emerging.

Why did you start giving AI talks?

Because buzzwords were everywhere and practical examples were rare. The goal was—and still is—to make AI feel concrete, useful, and human-centric.

How would you describe your speaking style?

Story-driven, practical, and interactive. Expect humour, relatable examples, and live demos—no doomsday scenarios, no tech elitism.

Do you only talk about AI?

AI is the focus today, but Lucido is expanding into automation, data privacy, and broader future-of-work themes.

What makes you different as a speaker?

A mix of corporate insights, startup scrappiness, and deep curiosity. Add Toastmasters polish and you get talks that are sharp, human, and memorable.

How do you stay up to date on AI and tech trends?

Through YouTube (Matt Wolfe and beyond), podcasts on tech and product, X (Twitter), books like Ethan Mollick’s, and lots of tool tinkering.

What’s your long-term vision?

To build a consultancy that helps businesses harness new tech without losing their human side—and to keep speaking, because sharing ideas sharpens them.

Outside of work, what do you enjoy?

Diving, fitness, cooking, Toastmasters, reading, and over-engineering side projects with AI just to explore what’s possible.

Any fun or random facts?

Michiel makes his own chocolates, experiments with cocktails (especially coffee liqueurs), and once infused a Negroni with coffee using a Bialetti—because why not?
