Talk to Your Database - Text-to-SQL, the AI That Turns Questions into SQL Queries

Your data sits in a database, ERP or warehouse - but to answer a simple business question, someone has to write SQL or build a report. Text-to-SQL flips that around: you ask in plain English, the AI generates the query, runs it read-only and returns the answer with a chart. I explain how it works, why the naive approach fails, how a semantic layer pushes accuracy from 50% to over 90%, and how to build it safely.

EU AI Grants for Polish SMEs 2026 - Up to PLN 3M. Which Programme, How to Apply

In 2026, Polish SMEs have access to nearly PLN 1.3 billion in EU grants for AI and automation. The problem: most companies find out about an open call after it closes. I explain the five main programmes (PARP, FENG, KPO, FEPW, BUR), what qualifies as an eligible expense (servers, GPUs, training, audits, implementation), how the application works, and what the real conditions are - without bureaucratic jargon.

Shadow AI - Your Employees Are Using AI Without Your Knowledge and That's Your Problem

68% of employees use unsanctioned AI tools without IT's knowledge. They paste contracts, customer data, source code, and strategies into public chatbots - and the company has no idea. Shadow AI isn't a technology problem, it's a governance problem. I explain how to detect what your team is actually using, how to write an AI policy that actually works, and why an outright ban is the worst possible solution.

Computer Use - AI That Operates Any App Like a Human (No API, No Integration Required)

Your 2003 legacy ERP, a government portal with no API, an old booking system that only runs on Internet Explorer - AI can now operate all of it like a human: clicking, filling forms, reading the screen and making decisions. Computer Use is the biggest shift in automation since RPA. Here's how it works, when it makes more sense than API/n8n, what it costs, and why it replaces an entire class of $200K+ tooling.

The EU AI Act in Practice - What Your Company Must Do in 2026 (No Panic, No Legalese)

The AI Act sounds scary, but 90% of SMB automation is "minimal risk" with no extra obligations. I explain the four risk tiers, the provider vs deployer distinction, what applies right now (AI literacy, chatbot transparency), when you fall into "high risk", and what a realistic compliance checklist looks like. With an up-to-date timeline after the May 2026 Digital Omnibus package.
