Nocode Lisboa #10: Build AI Agent-based Apps using only Nocode tools

You may already use AI tools like ChatGPT in your daily activities but did you know you can build applications that invoke these tools behind the scenes to deliver impossible experiences?

In this talk Sean Tierney will demo the AI-driven "smart connections" feature of the Problemattic platform built entirely using Nocode tools. You'll see behind the scenes at how to use drag & drop visual programming tools to automate workflows with AI autonomous agents. AI agent-based apps unlock a whole new field of possibilities for what you can do but they can be tricky to navigate when getting started. The good news is you can build them entirely with nocode tools without knowing how to code. This talk will be a dense primer on the main concepts and how to get started.

Agenda:
7:00pm - Round table of intros
7:15pm - Sean to demo this app built entirely with nocode tools
8:15pm - Get help on any challenges you're facing
8:30pm - wrap-up and feedback for next one

What you'll learn:

• What are Large Language Models (LLMs)?
• What is a RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) app?
• What are vector databases and why do we use them?
• The basics of how to use nocode visual programming tools like Bubble
• LangChain and n8n: how do they fit into this landscape?
• Primer on Docker, Git, API's and working with these as a non-dev
• Crash course on using Postman and Requestbin for working with API's
• How do you prompt an LLM in an app and ensure you get back predictable, app-usable structured output?
• What are autonomous agents and how do you need to change your thinking when working with these?
• Recap of the entire stack and how it all works together: Bubble, Supabase, n8n and OpenAI
• Where to go to learn more...
