If you want to build AI agents and automation tools but are concerned about cloud API costs or data privacy, this bootcamp shows you how to run everything locally using open source tools like Ollama. It covers building smart chatbots with memory, task managers, document readers, web scrapers, and personal productivity assistants, all without relying on external APIs or cloud services.

This Course Offers

• A Complete Local AI Agent Foundation: You will learn what AI agents are, how they differ from chatbots, why Ollama is the best local platform, and how to set it up and download models for running LLMs on your own machine.
• Hands On with Core Agent Features: The course covers building a simple AI agent, adding short term memory for context aware conversations, and creating a web UI using Flask or Streamlit for a chat like experience.
• Practical Automation Projects: You will build AI powered task automation bots, document readers that extract and summarize PDFs, web scrapers that collect and store insights, and personal assistants for scheduling and reminders.
• A No API, Privacy First Approach: Every project uses open source tools and local execution, ensuring privacy, security, and full control over your AI automation systems.
