- Generative AI starter pack
I've developed a "starter pack" designed to help companies embrace generative AI. Many organizations struggle to grasp its practical applications, often believing that it requires extensive training on their data or that it retains information. My goal is to clarify these misconceptions. I'll be explaining the intricacies of generative AI, such as Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), using a demo that integrates AWS and Slack. The presentation will simplify the complexities of large language models, share insights from my experience building the demo with AWS, and discuss the hurdles faced, especially as a newcomer to AWS technology.
Simon Gottschlag, CTO at Co-native (LinkedIn / Twitter)
I'm Simon, a father of two with a deep love for technology and books. My journey is about constantly learning and using this knowledge to uplift others. My career at Xenit spanned from 2009 to 2023, after which I embraced a new challenge as the CTO at Co-native, Xenit's parent group, in 2023. In this role, I'm diving into various cloud technologies, with a special focus on AWS and Azure.
- Building a serverless AI powered translation service
We'll craft a serverless, event-driven Slack bot, that not only translates your text with accuracy but also breathes life into it with voice generation. Leveraging the power of AWS's cloud, we'll use services like AWS StepFunctions, EventBridge, and Lambda with the advanced AI capabilities of AWS Translate and Polly. This session is not just a talk; it's a live, interactive experience where we'll build the solution right before your eyes.
Jimmy Dahlqvist, Head of AWS at Sigma Technology Cloud (LinkedIn / Twitter)
I'm a developer and architect with a great passion for cloud and new ways of working. I love to share my knowledge with others and to be able to help them grow is really rewarding. Every moment of spare time I get I spend coding, testing new things, learning, and blogging (https://jimmydqv.com). I'm a notorious coffee drinker and please don't talk to me before my first cup in the morning.
