AI agents in practice.

Over the past few years I've gone from training simple language models to building products that make extensive use of AI agents. During this session I'll share what has worked, what hasn't, and where I think AI engineering is heading.

Open from 5, talk starts at 6. Please be in by 5:45. We've have dinner with those who want after in Heerlen!

Agenda:

1. getting to know each other, discussing backgrounds and experiences
2. a simple game theory riddle to learn about benchmarking LLMs
3. Practical examples from Jijbaan:
   -⁠ ⁠automatic lead generation with Cursor automation
   •⁠ ⁠HTML winning marketing content generation
   - ⁠tech stack for a webapp: next.js vs react-native-web
   •⁠ ⁠Android emulator to debug Google map display

About the speaker:
First time I used a text generation model was in 2018 at APG. We trained it from scratch. It said something like “Hello World World World ..." and didn't know when to stop.
Fast forward 8 years: we're building Jijbaan (a job marketplace for teenagers) with extensive use of AI agents from Cursor and other providers.
