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.
### ๐ ๏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.
