Talk #1: Build your own code copilot from scratch for fun
If you are not living under the rock you probably know about ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot. In this presentation, I will show how you can supercharge your software development workflow with the help of an AI pair programmer. You can simplify your code and become a more productive software developer using LLMs.

We're not just talking theory here. We'll be hands-on, building our very own Code Copilot (like Github Copilot) from the ground up. Here are a few features we will build for our Copilot:

• Simplify and improve code
• Write test cases
• Debug and refactor code
• Explain and document any complex code written in any coding language

Join me for the session where we demystify Generative AI for software development and unveil the future of coding!

Talk #2: Make AI generate components for you

LLM's like GPT-4 are powerful to get a lot of mundane tasks done for you, like:

• fetching figma props and apply it to css
• create components from prompts like "make a navbar"
• even, centering a div!

We will explore how to do it together in a live coding environment.
