Why I Wrote This

Most AI books are written by theorists. This one was written in the trenches.

I watched too many businesses get sold "magic boxes" that didn't work. I saw data leaking to third-party vendors. I saw engineers frustrated by tools they couldn't control.

Be Practical is the antidote to AI hype. It's not about "superintelligence" or sci-fi futures. It's about what you can run today, on your own hardware, to solve real problems.

It covers the entire stack: from choosing the right GPU to orchestrating local LLMs, to building RAG pipelines that actually retrieve the right documents.

What You'll Learn

  • ✓ How to build a local AI server for under $5k
  • ✓ The truth about "Closed Source" vs "Open Source"
  • ✓ Step-by-step RAG implementation guides
  • ✓ Privacy-first architecture patterns
  • ✓ How to train your team to use AI tools
  • ✓ Avoiding vendor lock-in traps
