This hands-on workshop introduces attendees to OpenSaysMe, a voice-activated terminal launcher using offline AI models, and PrivacySafe Chat, a secure chat application leveraging 3NWeb protocols. Participants will learn to set up voice recognition tools, launch terminal commands via voice, and explore secure, metadata-minimizing communication through PrivacySafe Chat over 3NWeb’s federated approach. By the end, participants will have functional, privacy-first applications on their devices.
