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 โ€” 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.

### ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What will you explore?

  • Set up the Free AI Workbench โ€” Get a complete AI development environment running locally with a simple, containerized setup.
  • Build with Swecha CLI โ€” Use the Swecha CLI to quickly create, configure, run, and work with AI projects from your terminal.
  • Work with Open Source AI Models โ€” Explore how open source models can be integrated into applications and workflows.
  • Build AI Applications โ€” Work with APIs, models, prompts, data, and application components to create practical AI-powered applications.
  • One-Command Setup โ€” Set up the complete development environment in minutes using Docker, without spending hours resolving dependencies.
  • Experiment, Modify & Extend โ€” Go beyond using AI APIs. Understand the stack, modify components, experiment with models, and build your own workflows.
  • Build for Indian Languages โ€” Explore how open source AI infrastructure can be used to build applications and tools for Indian languages and communities.

### ๐Ÿš€ 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.

### ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Who is this for?

Developers, software engineers, students, researchers, and open-source enthusiasts interested in:

  • AI application development
  • Open-source AI
  • Local and self-hosted AI
  • Developer tools and AI infrastructure
  • Indian-language AI
  • Building AI products without vendor lock-in

You don't need to be an AI expert.
Bring your laptop, curiosity, and willingness to build.
This Independence Day, let's explore what it means to have freedom in AI โ€” the freedom to run it, understand it, modify it, and build with it.
