Talk descriptions

Navigating Copilot ecosystem as a developer
Maxim Salnikov - Developer Productivity Lead, Tech Communities Lead, Keynote Speaker at Microsoft
Multiple Microsoft and GitHub copilots are already available, with more on the way. As a developer, you have the flexibility to customize existing copilots or create new ones. Whether you prefer low-code or pro-code options, both are at your disposal. Wondering which one to choose? This session serves as your Copilot in the copilot building arena. Join to kickstart or elevate your Generative AI developer journey!

Build your own Copilot using Azure Open AI and your data!
Jan Vidar Elven - Security MVP, Senior Cloud Platform & Security Architect at EVIDI
In this session I will show you how you can build your own Security Copilot Assistant in AI Studio, by using Azure Open AI, AI Search Service and your own data sources. We will learn how we can get data from Microsoft APIs like Graph API, and let users ask about security status and information in a natural language!

Blackmirror - Creating your digital twin
Sebastiano Galazzo - AI MVP, CTO at Synapsia-AI
Starting from a set of sentences describing your personality, thoughts, hobbies, and personal info we will create a digital copy of you to interact with. The combined architecture of a vanilla version of GPT models and specialized DL models will allow you to perform varied tasks in a cost-effective approach. Moreover, we will create a DL model capable of profiling users in real-time, based on the ongoing conversation with our Digital Twins. The Digital Twins are responsible for acquiring key info that will be extracted by conditioning the flow of the conversation in order to allow you to make important marketing decisions. There will be a quick demonstration showing you how to utilize this solution to profile live conversations between "humans", or even a youtube video. Microsoft Azure, as well huggingface, will speed up the whole process.

How I use AI for Dungeons & Dragons
Petter Arnesen - Azure MVP, Senior Consultant at Accelerate at Iver Norge
While using AI tools for Dungeons & Dragons is not particularly business oriented, it does showcase how AI tools can be incorporated into the creative workflow and help keep track of things. In this session I will talk about and demonstrate how I use AI tools both as a Dungeons & Dragons player and as a dungeon master. Among the tools I use and will show are ChatGPT, Dall-E, Midjourney and Github Copilot, often in tandem.
