LLMs beyond chat 🧑‍💻 & networking 🤝

Large Language Models (LLMs) are evolving beyond chat into tools that can make decisions, call APIs, and automate real-world tasks.

How do they work, what can they do, and how can you use them? Join Ovi to explore LLMs as practical tools and learn how to apply them in real life.
This session is for everyone — developers and anyone curious about AI.

🎤 Workshop

• Overview:
  We’ll start by exploring how LLM APIs work, including tool/function calling and structured outputs.
  From there, we’ll walk through real-world examples such as automating real-time simulations, games and using AI as a brain in the environment around you.
  Whether you're a developer or simply curious about AI, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to apply LLMs to real-life problems.
• Format:
  Presentation + Workshop + Q&A
• Duration:
  About 30 - 40 minutes (the rest of the time will be a networking part)
• Note:
  No equipment needed: speaker will handle all setup
