​Day 1: How to deploy a secure personal AI assistant on your computer

​Instructor: Pavel Spesivtsev

​Serial AI-Founder and CTO @ GapTrap.ai, Fibonacci 7, Cellery.ai. Product Builder who runs production AI agent systems operating autonomously for weeks without human intervention or security incidents. Pavel has developed frameworks for agent governance that balance capability with control. Philosophy: 'Slow down to go fast' - build the harness, quality and security layers first, then add features.

​Morning Session (9:00 AM - 12:00 PM): AI Fundamentals

• ​The Second Inflection: 88% of companies adopted AI, only 6% capture real value (McKinsey 2025). What separates the two groups.

• ​Architecture of Intelligence: tokens, embeddings, attention, pre-training, and why Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT feel different

• ​Hands-on: Token economics calculator, embedding space exploration, temperature experiments

• ​Why AI Fails: hallucination, context overflow, prompt injection, sycophancy, and how to prevent each

• ​Architecture Decision Matrix: when to use prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, or agents

• ​Hands-on: Hallucination forensics on your own domain; group architecture design challenge

• ​From Prompt to Agent: system prompts, few-shot learning, chain of thought, tool use, building your first agent

• ​60-second MCP teaser (message host about MCP workshop)

• ​Business Decision Framework: model comparison table (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Kimi K2.5, GLM 5, Qwens), MIT/Harvard productivity data, personal AI ROI worksheet

​LUNCH Break (12 PM - 2 PM)

​Afternoon Session (2:00 PM - 5:00 PM): Secure AI Assistant

• ​The OpenClaw disaster: 150K+ GitHub stars, 4,500+ exposed instances, plaintext credentials, zero authentication

• ​The Lethal Trifecta: why personal AI assistants become security nightmares (private data + network access + untrusted input)

• ​Hands-on: Building the secure foundation in four layers: isolated execution environment, authentication gateway, human-approval confirmation flows, network egress allowlist

• ​Adding high-value capabilities: persistent memory, messenger integration, connecting to real-world data sources (specifics adjusted based on pre-workshop survey)

• ​Testing your defenses: prompt injection, credential exfiltration, unauthorized network egress. Attack your own system. Fix what breaks.

• ​What you take home: working secure AI assistant, security validation checklist, architecture decision matrix, personal AI ROI worksheet

• ​Bridge to Day 2: your assistant becomes a case study for Bogdan's cybersecurity sessions

​Evening Activity: Tea Social (Weather permitting - gas firepit in the backyard garden).
