AI workshops in San Diego, with a playbook you keep

People in San Diego and La Mesa search for a workshop they can attend without a flight. People in Orange County, the Inland Empire, and the rest of Southern California search for the same thing with a longer drive. Nidrosoft can do that room because Cyriac Zeh is already here. We will not pretend to have a staffed classroom in every suburb. If you need a trainer in your building every Tuesday, hire a local firm that staffs that way. If you want the person who also ships Omnira Dental, TokenTra, and the rest of the public archive, book us.

This page is the local explore URL. The training service page is the product. The workshops-and-training explore page is the generic search. Implementation versus workshops is the fork if you might need a build instead. Keep those URLs straight so a vendor cannot mash a community panel into an implementation invoice.

Nidrosoft LLC is the company. The AI Architect is the practice name. Twelve-plus years of making software, 125 products shipped, 16 public systems. Formerly Anthropic, Microsoft on Bing and Edge, Intuit, and Gap Inc. Those facts travel with the room. They do not become attendance figures.

The San Diego Executive Roundtable is an invite-style conversation with regional corporate leaders. Topics have included generative AI, data, cloud and security, and the future of work. Cyriac joins as a panelist on a recurring basis. That is a room for leaders who already have a seat at that table. It is not a public ticket we sell on this page, and we will not invent how many people were in the last one.

AI for the Rest of Us is a working session for operators who need the technology in the business rather than on a slide. It has been offered in San Diego with a livestream option. Again, we will not invent a crowd size. If you want that energy for your company, say so. We will still require your tasks. A private copy of a community session without your files is just a talk.

Cyriac has also appeared in Southern California executive panels, including a CXO conversation in the La Jolla area alongside other regional operators. Those appearances show that the studio will stand in front of a local room. They are not a substitute for your playbook. Watch his public channels if you want the next community date. Use the calendar on this site if you want a private agenda.

We will not list invented meetups in every San Diego neighborhood to capture search. North Park, Downtown, UTC, La Mesa, Chula Vista, Carlsbad: the drive changes. The file rule does not. If your team is in one of those places, say where you want to sit. We will tell you whether we can be there or whether a link is the honest plan.

• Executive Roundtable: regional leaders, invite-style, Cyriac as panelist
• AI for the Rest of Us: operators, San Diego plus livestream
• Private sprints: your company, your tools, playbook you keep
• No attendance numbers published on this page

Before the day we ask for three tasks. A clinic in Hillcrest and a dealer in Kearny Mesa will not get the same exercises. A software team in Sorrento Valley will not get a dental intake lab unless that is their work. Local does not mean generic California examples. Local means Cyriac can sit in the room without a redeye.

Leadership sprints aim at judgment. Which processes are candidates. What a human must approve. How to reject a bundled vendor email. Engineer sprints aim at a prompt file, eval notes, a thin connector to a safe copy, a key that leaves chat. Mixed rooms need a tighter agenda so nobody sits through an hour they will never use.

We use the seats you already pay for. If you have none, we will say whether ChatGPT or Copilot should come first. A San Diego company that has never used a model should not start with a custom agent in the practice system. That honesty is the same in La Mesa as it is on a link to Denver.

Homework belongs on a series. Rewrite one customer email with the new rule. Move a credential into a vault. If nobody does it, we stop adding material. Proximity to the studio is not an excuse for entertainment.

The community row wins when you wanted peers, not a private playbook. The vendor row wins when you already bought the platform. The strategy row wins when HQ asked for a named firm. The generic lab wins when counsel will not let files into any room. The build row wins when the process is already obvious. Our private sprint wins when you want practice on your work with the person who will also be available for an audit later.

Price is still scoped. A half-day in Little Italy and a three-session engineering series in Carlsbad are not the same invoice. We will not invent a San Diego special in euros or dollars on this page. Book the calendar.

After a private sprint you own the playbook, the prompts the group wrote, and the notes. You do not own a production integration. You do not own Omnira Dental or TokenTra unless you license them. After a community session you own whatever you wrote down. After a build you own code and runbooks. Keep those leftovers straight when you tell finance what the San Diego day was.

We put private files in your drive. We do not lock a playbook in a portal. If we used a board in the room, we export it before we leave. Someone who missed the day in La Mesa because of traffic should still be able to read the file.

Human approval on money, contracts, and customers is taught as a rule in every local room. Nexuvo can hunt listings overnight. A person still buys the car. Eviction Wizard can assemble a path. A person still files. That rule is not relaxed because the ocean is nearby.

A campus extension class wins when you wanted a syllabus and a certificate for a broad audience. A downtown coworking lecture wins when you wanted networking. A Microsoft or Salesforce office session wins when you needed adoption of that stack. A Los Angeles strategy team that flies down for a board pack wins when HQ required that costume.

A product shop in San Diego wins when you already have screens and need a bench. Seats win when people only needed to draft faster. A generic touring lab wins when no local files can be shown. We will say those sentences in the first call.

We will not run a happy-hour demo and call it a workshop. We will not run a room whose success metric is a photo. We will not invent a meetup brand for every neighborhood. We will not take a half-day implementation and label it training because someone is driving from La Mesa. We will not publish fake RSVP counts to look popular.

We will not promise that every Southern California company gets Cyriac on site every week. Studio capacity is limited. A link is sometimes the honest plan even when the drive is short. If you need a full-time local trainer, hire one.

We will not use a community Roundtable as a secret sales pitch for a build you did not ask for. If the conversation points at a process, we will say book an audit. That is a next step, not a trap.

Examples in a San Diego room still come from public systems. Omnira Dental for practice operations. Octana for a video from a message. Eviction Wizard from notice to writ. Guidera on iOS. TokenTra for spend, 10 to 30 percent wasted tokens cut. Protectron for EU AI Act artifacts. Nerlude for keys and renewals. Nexuvo for dealer inventory, 3x more cars, 80 percent less manual outreach. NanoBrief for briefs in under two minutes versus three-plus hours. Clear Audio AI and MixGuidera for sound.

Your playbook will use your nouns: claims, chairs, lots, funds, SKUs. A Point Loma operator and a Mission Valley operator do not get the same packet unless they do the same work. Local color is the drive and the calendar, not a costume.

We will not invent San Diego client names to look rooted. The studio is rooted because Cyriac lives here and the company is Nidrosoft LLC. That is enough.

Some San Diego companies will leave the room ready for an audit. Some already knew the process and should have booked a build. The map decides. We can sit on a lot in Kearny Mesa or in a clinic waiting room for Embed days. We can also ship into a stack whose servers are not in California. San Diego is where we start the car, not where your data is required to live.

EU hosting and residency still apply when the work needs them. Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, private infrastructure, approved access, audit trails. A local workshop that ignores those constraints will produce a playbook that security later kills. We write the constraint into the playbook if it came up.

Transformation is still team by team, even if both teams sit in the same county. Do not print a Southern California banner that boils five departments in one month. Capacity and Own both break.

Send cyriac@nidrosoft.com or use the public calendar. Name San Diego, La Mesa, another Southern California city, or remote. Name leadership or engineers. List three tasks. Name seats you already have. If you saw Cyriac at a Roundtable or at AI for the Rest of Us, say so. It helps us skip the biography and start with your files.

We will propose a venue only if you want us to. Your office is usually better because the tools are there. A rented room is fine if counsel wants a clean space. We will not pick a landmark for photos.

Interpreters, accessibility, and shift times should be named early. A night-shift ops lead in Otay Mesa cannot use a 9am-only agenda. We will not assume downtown hours.

Scope sets the fee. This page will not invent one. A community session you attend on your own time is not an invoice from us. A private sprint is. Keep those clean.

If the honest next step is seats, we will say buy seats. If it is a strategy pack for a parent company, hire that firm. If it is a build, book the audit. Local pride does not change the leftover.

Cyriac Zeh. Nidrosoft. San Diego. Your files. Your playbook. That is the offer.

If you are driving from La Mesa, El Cajon, Chula Vista, or North County, say the start time that matches traffic and shifts. A 8am downtown start is a different room than a 11am start. We will not assume UTC office hours for a dealer desk in Kearny Mesa or a clinic that opens at seven.

Parking, badges, and guest Wi-Fi should be boring and settled. A workshop that spends forty minutes on network access is a failed local advantage. Send a test login the day before. If the CRM is only on the office VLAN, sit in the office. A pretty hotel conference room that cannot see the tool is a touring boutique with ocean views.

If you want peers more than a private playbook, go to the Executive Roundtable or AI for the Rest of Us when those rooms are open, and take your own notes. Do not book a private sprint to recreate a community conversation. Do not book a community room and expect a custom playbook for your CRM. The table on this page exists so that mix-up stops.

Remote teammates in other states can join a San Diego room on a link. Give them the same files. A hybrid room that treats the remote people as an audience will waste their morning. We would rather run two sessions than one half-attended hybrid show.

If you wanted a monthly local office hours subscription, say so. We may point you to the rent-an-engineer page or to a single follow-up after the playbook. We will not invent a standing happy hour to look neighborly. A private sprint with a file you can reopen beats a recurring mixer with no leftover.
