Türkiye’s AI Action Plan: An SME Perspective with KobiGPT

The awareness, adoption, production and governance pillars of Türkiye’s AI Action Plan address SMEs’ transition to artificial intelligence from complementary perspectives. At X Mind Solutions, the roadmap we have developed for KobiGPT focuses on the same needs: making technology accessible, connecting it with businesses’ existing systems, retaining control over data and developing employees’ skills in using it. For us, the value of this framework lies in bringing strategic objectives into focus alongside businesses’ everyday needs.

The AI vouchers under the plan’s “Adopt” pillar are intended to help turn ideas in priority areas into field-tested products. KobiGPT also starts from the ambition to make AI a technology that is no longer accessible only to large organisations. This is why we focus on the needs of manufacturers, distributors and audit firms in Anatolia. We see accessibility not simply as access to technology, but as making it usable within a business’s own processes.

The approach to digital sovereignty under the “Govern” pillar highlights why AI architecture matters. KobiGPT offers an on-premise architecture that runs on a business’s own server and complies with Türkiye’s Personal Data Protection Law (KVKK). With data remaining inside the business and no dependence on the cloud, this approach is designed to keep data control in the business’s hands. For us, sovereign AI is not only about where a model originates, but also about where data is processed and how infrastructure is set up.

Within the Turkish-language AI ecosystem highlighted by the “Produce” pillar, we position ourselves not as a competitor to language models, but as the integration layer connecting these models with business systems. KobiGPT focuses on connecting the capabilities of Turkish-language models with SMEs’ Logo, Mikro and ERP environments. In doing so, we aim to bridge model development and practical use in business processes. When bringing domestically developed AI to businesses, we consider how model capabilities connect with existing software to be just as important as the capabilities themselves.

The “Raise Awareness” pillar treats AI literacy as one of the starting points for transformation. At X Mind Solutions, we offer corporate AI training as a separate service line, serving everyone from white-collar employees to senior executives. Installing a system alone does not ensure that it will be used correctly. We see helping employees understand the technology’s possibilities and limitations as a fundamental need that must be addressed alongside technical deployment.

The plan’s positioning of the public sector as an initial buyer and a strong reference for successful domestic AI solutions is a notable aspect for domestic ventures. We value this approach for its potential to connect vision with practical implementation. At X Mind Solutions, our focus is on contributing to the implementation side of this transformation by bringing together KobiGPT’s on-premise architecture, our integration approach and our training services around the needs of SMEs.
