Greetings from Swecha!

This 15th August, join Swecha for a hands-on Free AI Workbench Workshop.

In this workshop, we will explore how developers can build AI-powered applications using a free, open source, and developer-friendly AI stack — without depending entirely on proprietary platforms.

The workshop will take you from setting up your AI development environment to building and running an AI-powered application.

🛠️ What will you explore?

• Set up the Free AI Workbench — Get a complete AI development environment running locally with a simple, containerized setup.

• Build with Swecha CLI — Use the Swecha CLI to quickly create, configure, run, and work with AI projects from your terminal.

• Work with Open Source AI Models — Explore how open source models can be integrated into applications and workflows.

• Build AI Applications — Work with APIs, models, prompts, data, and application components to create practical AI-powered applications.

• One-Command Setup — Set up the complete development environment in minutes using Docker, without spending hours resolving dependencies.

• Experiment, Modify & Extend — Go beyond using AI APIs. Understand the stack, modify components, experiment with models, and build your own workflows.

• Build for Indian Languages — Explore how open source AI infrastructure can be used to build applications and tools for Indian languages and communities.

🚀 What will you take away?

By the end of the workshop, you will have:

• A working Free AI Workbench on your laptop.
• Experience using Swecha CLI for AI development.
• Built and run an AI-powered application.
• Understanding of how AI models, APIs, data, and applications connect.
• A starting point for building your own open source AI projects.

👨‍💻 Who is this for?
