Sovereign AI Workshop

Your AI doesn’t have to live in someone else’s cloud.

Right now, nearly every AI workflow depends on external APIs and centralized services.
But for many businesses, that model is starting to break.

You pay more as you scale.
You send sensitive data to third-party servers.
You rely on infrastructure you don’t control.

That’s the problem this workshop is built to solve.

A new generation of local-first AI makes it possible to run models, workflows, and agents directly on your own hardware.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to actually own your AI stack, this workshop is your starting point.

We’ll cover it in 90 minutes, across three parts.

Workshop Agenda

1) When Sovereign AI makes sense (30 min)

You don’t need local AI for everything.
But when you do, nothing else will do.

You’ll see exactly where sovereign AI gives you an immediate advantage — and where cloud models still make more sense (for now).

I’ll show you some example use cases and scenarios that are primed for running locally on your own hardware.

2) What Sovereign AI requires (30 min)

The good news: it’s easier than it sounds.
Modern open-source tools have made local AI accessible even for non-engineers.

I’ll show you

• Commodity hardware that makes local AI practical

• Open-source models you can run locally

• The software stack that brings it all together

So you understand exactly what goes into a self-reliant AI setup – and what tradeoffs to expect.

3) See it in action (30 min)

The final part of the workshop is a guided walk-through of how Sovereign AI feels in practice.

No coding.
No theory.
Just a clear view of what AI looks like when the entire stack is yours.

You’ll leave with

1. A mental framework for when and why local AI matters

2. A concrete understanding of hardware, models, and tools

3. A sense of what’s possible – and how close it already is

This workshop is for you if

• You work with data or automation and want more control over your stack

• You’re curious how local AI actually works behind the scenes

• You want to understand if local AI is something for you

• You value privacy, autonomy, or independence in how you build
