AGENDA:
7 - 7:15pm: Announcements and introductions

7:15 - 8:30pm: "Innovate with AI: Build ChatGPT-like Apps" by Calvin Hendryx-Parker (Six Feet Up) and Brad Fruth (Beck's Hybrids)
Do you want to unlock the potential of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) by creating your own ChatGPT-like applications? Six Feet Up worked with Beck’s Hybrids, a seed company dedicated to helping farmers succeed, to do just that. 🌳 The app insights give farmers access to valuable patterns, trends, and correlations that will help them advance agricultural practices (including challenges posed by climate change) and boost crop yields.

In this talk and live demo, you’ll learn how to extract proprietary data insights, accelerate data-driven decision-making, boost productivity, and drive innovation across industries.

What do you need to know before building your own app? There’s a lot of code behind the OpenAI chat box. Calvin and Brad will review real-world examples and share best practices for how to:

• Master data gathering and extraction from multiple sources, including the challenging realm of PDFs.
• Build an AI framework using Django and HTMX, integrating powerful AI models from OpenAI, LangChain, and Llama Index.
• Test the framework to enhance the accuracy and relevancy of responses.
• Transform data into a format that AI "bots" can understand and learn from.
• Deploy the app using Kubernetes, simulating a cloud environment for easy replication on various machines.

As a bonus, all attendees will gain access to a GitHub repository packed with Python code (the 'lingua franca of AI') and ChatGPT-like app examples ready to be spun up on-site. Get ready to delve into the world of AI and transform your business like never before!

8:30 - 8:45pm: Door Prizes

8:45 - 9pm: Networking & General Discussion

Guests are more than welcome to attend, but please have each person RSVP on their own Meetup account.
