This month's Meetup dives into Who we are as a community, and AI beyond text.

Human Embeddings: Mapping Our AI Journey — Cameron McEwing
Before we dive into the tech, let's find out who's in the room. Are you a Cautious Observer or a Bleeding-edge Builder? This is a chance to connect with people at a similar stage, share what's driving your AI journey, and uncover what the community wants to learn. Come ready to move, mingle, and meet.

Multimodal Prompting — Cameron McEwing
Think of multimodal prompting as the shift from "texting" an AI to having a full-blown "FaceTime" conversation with it. We've moved beyond text-in, text-out — you can now mix and match text, audio, image, and video, both as inputs and outputs, to get far more sophisticated results from AI.

In this session, Cameron will:

• Demonstrate how to use text, image, audio, and video inputs to give AI richer context
• Show how AI can generate images, audio, and video using multimodal inputs
• Share practical tips for getting better results from multimodal prompts
• Walk through real-world examples you can apply straight away

When: Wednesday, 25 March, 5:30 - 8:00 pm
Where: EPIC Innovation, Christchurch
Bring: Your laptop or phone (optional, for hands-on exercises)

This is the launch of a new monthly series!
