What we’re about
To see all meetups in this group: https://www.meetup.com/pro/ibm-community/
This is an IBM sponsored Meetup group geared towards developers, data scientists, data engineers, and ALL Big Data, Cloud and AI enthusiasts. Our meetups provide an opportunity to work hands on with the solutions and tools in our Big Data portfolio and to interact and share knowledge with experts at IBM and in our extended community.Our Meetups typically include a 45-60 minute presentation that serves as an introduction and overview for a specific Data or Cognitive topic, as well as other topics that the community is interested in. It is followed by a possible demonstration or networking with fellow developers to collaborate on applying your data skills. Depending upon the location, we can provide a cloud environment with the technologies needed, that you can use from your laptop at NO cost to you. Our meetups are FREE.
Meetup topics include (but are not limited to):
- Cognitive Solutions
- Artificial Intelligence
- Data Science
- Machine Learning
- Cloud Technologies
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Data Visualization
- Java development
- Open Source Technologies: Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, Python, R and others
- Data-centric Application Development
- Open Source Hadoop, SQL on Hadoop, R on Hadoop, Integration, Governance, ...
- Real Time Analytics & Stream Computing
- Text Analytics
- Relational and NOSQL Databases
- Predictive/Prescriptive Analytics
- Deep dives into the technologies that makes big data processing possible
Join us today to learn more about what is possible with software development and topics important to your community.

•Online[AI Alliance] Gofannon: Ramen
Online2 attendees from 115 groupsEveryone is talking about agents; if you don't have agents already in production you are hopelessly behind. Wasn't vibe coding supposed to take care of everyone's computer problems? How am I behind if AI takes care of everything for me now? Maybe I need an MCP and then I'll be caught up. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a tool where I could just say what I wanted the agent to do and it would vibe it out for me? And then maybe I could tell it what I wanted the app to look like, and it would vibe that out too. That day is today, that tool is called gofannon.
In this talk we'll discuss our motivations for making gofannon, lessons learned that we've incorporated from prior iterations, and a (possibly live) demo where we'll go from idea to deployed app. See you there!

About the presenter
Adam Pingel (LinkedIn, GitHub) is IBM's Head of Open Tools and Applications for the AI Alliance. Adam has been fascinated by AI and chatbots since playing with Racter in the 80’s. But the “winters” were long and frequent. The stars aligned in 2015 when he became VPE at Ravel Law. Ravel was building AI-powered tools for the legal industry and was working with Harvard Law School on what is now known as the Caselaw Access Project. After an acquisition by LexisNexis in 2017, he moved his family to Raleigh (in 2019) to take the role of CTO of Global Platforms. In 2022 he joined IBM to work on domain-specific applications of generative AI. Adam holds an MS and BS in CS from UCLA and Stanford, respectively. When not at a keyboard, he enjoys spending time with his family.About the AI Alliance
