What we’re about
We're NYC on Rails, a group of people that still think Ruby on Rails is the best thing to happen to web development since CSS.
We're starting up these meetups again in Q3/Q4 of 2023 and into 2024 and we couldn't be more excited. Our first meetup will be in Mid September and if you're interested in attending in-person (yes, meeting IRL like it was 2019), just let us know. The talks will also be live-streamed and recorded.
CALL FOR SPEAKERS
We've got a big goal of finding at least 36 speakers over the next 3 months to fill each slot with local NYC voices. If you are interested in speaking, even if you don't have an idea yet but want to commit to a date / time, let us know!
If you are interested in getting involved in the meetup, helping organize, sponsoring events, or hosting our in-person meetups, let me know ([im@avi.nyc](mailto:im@avi.nyc))

# Demos / Talks
Vicente Reig - DSPy.rb: a Ruby-first port of Stanford’s DSPy — a declarative framework that turns manually written prompts into predictable, reusable reasoning systems. You’ll see how Signatures, Evals, and Prompt Optimizers work together to improve your prompts automatically and keep your system stable as models evolve.
Think of DSPy.rb as the MVC moment for AI: a framework that brings structure and reliability to a layer of your app that changes faster than anything else.
Daniel Doubrovkine - Hypermedia APIs are Made for AI: While adoption of Hypermedia APIs is very low compared to, for example GraphQL, this approach to API design deserves a new look in the age of AI.
In this talk we'll look at building a Hypermedia API using grape and grape-roar, and expose it via an MCP using the new hyperclient-mcp gem.
Brian Fountain - G3NPRO: A new software platform empowering enterprise animation studios with groundbreaking generative AI tools that accelerate production timelines and unlock unprecedented creative possibilities. G3NPRO is built on Ruby/Rails and currently in the pilot phase.
If you are interested in speaking at future events, please fill out the form below. The demos are usually about 10 minutes and feature a cool AI tool or feature built in Ruby/Rails.
