🔁 Replicate Your App: 🤖 AI, ⚙️ Automation & ☁️ AWS

AI in Action: We’re exploring how AI can speed up daily tasks. Brian will demonstrate how AI reduced his architectural rendering time from weeks to hours, highlighting what works and what doesn’t with current AI workflows.

No AI without API: How has the rise of AI impacted the core of the modern web? From data cost considerations to strategies for managing increased latencies in generative AI and larger payloads, we’ll offer scalable solutions to keep you on track as you navigate your AI journey.

Agents at Work: We’ll explain how agents combine the insights from the previous topics. Their outputs are then reprocessed as scheduled sets of inputs to break down complex tasks into smaller, more manageable steps—boosting productivity and efficiency. But, at what cost?

We’ve brought together our individual lessons and curiosities into a new iteration, which we call Vibe. I highly encourage all of you to ask Brian any questions about it after giving it a try for free at https://vibe.diyrender.com/.

SPEAKERS:

👨🏻‍💻 Brian Zajac: Brian graduated with a B.F.A. from Bowling Green State University. He kicked off his career in web design, starting EyeMagination in 2001 and working with big names like the PGA. In 2006, he co-founded 3DAS to create architectural 3D renderings—from homes to FBI buildings. In 2010, he helped launch CGschool, a leading training hub for visualization artists. Today, Brian tackles tough visualization challenges with 3D, AI, and prototyping. His current team is building DIY Render, web apps for quick conceptual renderings. Learn more at 3das.com/diyrender.

👨🏻‍💻 Juan Jordan: Hailing from Hokie land and having wandered the wilds of finance for far too long a recent detour into insurance was obliged. With a passion for problem solving and a couple of cats he puts the o no in automation and the bug in the thing you later have to debug. Fighting the laws of entropy through recursion subversion ever since the dial tone.

👨🏻‍💻 Marko Petrovik: Software Engineer with a passion for emergent technologies. As a part of this team I'm focused on frontend development and user interface design, integrating them seamlessly with backend and gen AI services.
