Tomer Libal | AI Transition Manager and Trainer for Regulated Organisations

About

Most organisations know they need to do something about AI. Very few know where to start. That is the gap I fill.

I work as an AI transition manager and trainer for public organisations, professional services firms, financial institutions and law firms. I come in for a defined period, usually one to two months, to solve a concrete AI problem: I assess honestly what AI should do for you, build the first trustworthy, human-supervised pipelines together with your team, train them as we go, and leave them able to run it without me. Because I have built production AI systems myself in regulated environments, I know what vendors will tell you, what they will not, and what to verify. I co-founded an AI company whose clients include a top-10 international law firm, I built a university Data Science programme from scratch, and I have led more than 600,000 euros of public research funding. When you want a longer relationship, I can continue on a fractional basis.

How I Help

Most organisations know they need to do something about AI. Very few know where to start. The vendors will answer that question, but in their own interest. I come in on your side of the table.

AI Transition Management and Fractional AI Officer

I come in for a defined period, usually one to two months, to solve a concrete AI problem and leave your team able to run it. Two ways to engage: a fixed price, or fixed costs plus a share of the savings I generate. When you want a longer relationship, I continue as your fractional AI officer afterwards.

AI Literacy and Training

I design and deliver AI literacy programmes for professional and public-sector teams with no prior AI background. Every programme is built around transparency, traceability and human oversight as working principles, and satisfies the AI literacy obligation under Article 4 of the EU AI Act with documented outcomes. 93% overall satisfaction rate.

Prompt-writing and AI pipelines

I build practical, human-supervised AI directly with your team: well-engineered prompts and supervised retrieval (RAG) in Claude, Gemini or Mistral, designed so people can trust the output and stay responsible for it. You keep the skill, not just a black box. Heavier on-premise production builds are delivered by my company, Enidia.

Enidia AI

In 2023 I co-founded Enidia AI, building trustworthy, on-premise AI for regulated industries. Clients include a top-10 international law firm, where a production document review was cut from about 25 hours to about 4.

Research and funded projects

As principal investigator I have led more than 600,000 euros of public research funding, including an FNR CORE grant, Luxembourg's most competitive instrument. My access-to-justice work built AI that helps the public navigate the law, including a patent law assistant.

Academic standing

33 international refereed conference papers and 3 journal papers, 402 citations, h-index 12. Reviewer for international journals and for Horizon and Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions, with a best-paper award among my co-authored work. I have supervised PhD, master, and bachelor students and speak regularly at industry and academic events.

How I Work

Clear engagements, a low-risk way to start, and a fee model designed to be fair to you.

Start small. A short, fixed-fee assessment: I look at how you work today and show you where AI can take the load off, in transparent, trustworthy ways, with what each option would take and where the risks are. You get a clear map before committing to anything bigger.

Transition engagement. A defined period, usually one to two months, to solve a concrete AI problem: I build the first trustworthy, human-supervised pipelines with your team and leave them able to run it.

Stay on, if useful. When you want continuity, I continue as your fractional AI officer, without a full-time hire.

Two ways to agree the fee. A simple fixed price, or I share the risk and take a portion of the savings I create, measured against a baseline we agree together up front. Either way, you know what you are committing to before we begin.

Value you can measure. Where it matters, we measure the before and after on a real task, so the result is a number you can see, not a promise.

On site or remote. Based in Luxembourg, available across the region and beyond for the right engagement.

Let us scope it together

Built to Be Trusted

Generic AI sounds equally confident whether it is right or wrong. For legal work, that is the whole problem. This is the standard I build to.

Traceable, never a black box. Every conclusion can be checked against your own documents, in seconds.

Nothing invented. If an answer is not in your documents, you are told so, instead of being handed a confident guess.

Complete, not just fast. Built so the detail buried deep in a long document is not quietly missed.

You stay in control. Every output is reviewed and signed off by a lawyer before it is used.

Inside your walls. On-premise, on open-weight models, GDPR and the EU AI Act by design. Your documents never leave.

An answer you can sign your name to. Correct, complete, and transparent, or it shows you exactly where any doubt lives.

Proven in production: at a top-10 international law firm, a document review went from about 25 hours to about 4.
