Την Κυριακή 21 Ιουνίου 2026, στις 18:30, συναντιόμαστε στο Gazi College Piraeus για ένα meetup αφιερωμένο στο Best Practices For AI Content Creators και στις νέες δεξιότητες που χρειάζονται οι content creators, copywriters, bloggers, marketers και digital professionals στην εποχή της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης. Όλες και όλοι μιλούν για AI content. Όμως το μεγάλο ερώτημα παραμένει: πώς δημιουργούμε περιεχόμενο με τη βοήθεια της Τεχνητής Νοημοσύνης χωρίς να χάνεται η ποιότητα, η αυθεντικότητα, η στρατηγική σκέψη και η ανθρώπινη φωνή μας; Ήρθε η ώρα να δούμε μαζί τι σημαίνει πραγματικά premium AI content. Όχι βιαστικά prompts. Όχι γενικά κείμενα που μοιάζουν μεταξύ τους. Όχι περιεχόμενο που απλώς γεμίζει σελίδες και feeds. Αλλά περιεχόμενο που έχει σκοπό, δομή, ακρίβεια, προσωπικότητα, SEO αξία, AI visibility και πραγματική χρησιμότητα για τον άνθρωπο που το διαβάζει. Στο meetup θα εξερευνήσουμε μαζί: * Πώς χρησιμοποιούμε το AI ως συνεργάτη σκέψης και όχι ως αυτόματο αντικαταστάτη. * Ποια είναι τα βασικά best practices για να δημιουργούμε premium AI-assisted content. * Πώς προστατεύουμε τη δική μας φωνή, εμπειρία και επαγγελματική ταυτότητα μέσα σε AI-generated περιεχόμενο. * Πώς συνδέονται το AI, το SEO, το AEO, το GEO και τα LLMs με τη νέα πραγματικότητα της ψηφιακής ορατότητας. * Πώς μπορούμε να κάνουμε ένα AI κείμενο πιο καθαρό, πιο αξιόπιστο, πιο ανθρώπινο και πιο χρήσιμο. * Ποια λάθη κάνουν συχνά οι creators όταν χρησιμοποιούν AI εργαλεία για blogs, newsletters, social media και websites. * Πώς χτίζουμε περιεχόμενο που μπορεί να διαβαστεί, να κατανοηθεί και να προταθεί τόσο από ανθρώπους όσο και από AI συστήματα. * Αν χρησιμοποιείς ήδη AI εργαλεία αλλά νιώθεις ότι το αποτέλεσμα χρειάζεται περισσότερη ποιότητα, προσωπικότητα και στρατηγική, αυτό το meetup είναι για σένα. * Αν θέλεις να καταλάβεις τι σημαίνουν στην πράξη όροι όπως AEO, GEO, LLM Optimization, AI Visibility και AI Agents για τη δουλειά σου, αυτό το meetup είναι για σένα. **Αν θέλεις να δημιουργείς περιεχόμενο που δεν ακούγεται πρόχειρο, γενικό ή άψυχο, αλλά έχει επαγγελματική αξία και ανθρώπινη παρουσία, τότε έλα στην παρέα μας.** * Ημερομηνία: Κυριακή 21 Ιουνίου 2026 * Ώρα: 18:30 * Τοποθεσία: Gazi College Piraeus * Θεματική: Best Practices For Premium AI Content * Γλώσσα: Ελληνικά * Δωρεάν συμμετοχή – κράτηση απαραίτητη! * Οι θέσεις είναι περιορισμένες – κράτησε τη δική σου εγκαίρως. Την συζήτηση θα συντονίσει η **Αρετή Βάσσου**, ιδρύτρια του **[IDEADECO SEO Copywriting Agency.](https://ideadeco.co/)** **Λίγα λόγια για εμάς:** Στον κύκλο των **Female Copywriters & Content Creators** δίνουμε χώρο και φωνή σε επαγγελματίες γυναίκες που δραστηριοποιούνται στους τομείς του digital marketing, SEO, AI, AEO, GEO, copywriting, blogging, content writing, web design, development, photography, podcasting και digital content creation. Έχουμε ήδη εκπαιδεύσει πάνω από **3.150 γυναίκες** σε όλα τα σύγχρονα εργαλεία του digital κόσμου, και συνεχίζουμε με έμπνευση, φροντίδα και ομαδικότητα. Σε περιμένουμε να μοιραστούμε εμπειρίες, απορίες και έμπνευση, πάντα με καφέ, φιλική διάθεση και ουσιαστικό επαγγελματικό networking! ***Όροι Χρήσης & Πολιτική Απορρήτου:*** *Με τη συμμετοχή σας αποδέχεστε τη χρήση, διατήρηση και επεξεργασία των απαραίτητων προσωπικών δεδομένων για την ομαλή λειτουργία του meetup (όνομα, επίθετο, email, τηλέφωνο, ιστοσελίδα, blog, social media). Επιπλέον, αποδέχεστε τη δημοσίευση των φωτογραφιών & βίντεο που σας συμπεριλαμβάνουν, στα ψηφιακά κανάλια του [ideadeco.co](https://ideadeco.co/) και των επιλεγμένων χορηγών.* * Οι συμμετέχουσες δεν μπορούν να χρησιμοποιήσουν κανένα τύπο εγγραφής ήχου, βίντεο, εικόνας και αναπαραγωγής κειμένου χωρίς την έγγραφη άδεια μας. * Σε περίπτωση ακύρωσης, το meetup θα μεταφερθεί σε νέα ημερομηνία. * Ακολουθούμε τις τρέχουσες υγειονομικές οδηγίες προστασίας. * Δεν επιτρέπεται η συμμετοχή σε παιδιά.

\*\*Same stuff, always fun! \*\* ℹ️ **General info:** Bats (rackets) & balls are provided by the venue (are included in the price). The ping-pong tables have an hourly cost of 8€/hour, per table. Usually we pay 5-6€/person for the whole 1.5 hours. PLEASE, bring some cash on you, unless you have Revolut or IRIS (nope, a 50€ euro bill does not count). **Location**: The venue cannot be reached by metro, so you have to either take a bus or **carpool** with any attending member that will arrive via car. ℹ️ Bus options should be fairly good, since the venue is next to a big amusement park & a mall. ℹ️ Personally, I'll always be coming via car, so I'll have 4 available spots in my car. I can pick you from: * **Egaleo** metro station, blue line, * **Pallini** metro/train station ❗️ If you plan to attend via car and are willing to carpool people, please let me/us know in a PM or event discussion! ❗️ People getting carpooled should be in the agreed location **on time!** ⚡️ Feel free to follow the group [on Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/groups/athenssportsfunactivities/)! ⚡️

Over a billion documents processed. Millions of Veterans impacted. Hundreds of thousands of employee hours saved. Faster decisions. Greater accuracy. More benefits in the hands of our disabled Veterans. We created Smart Search, the world’s largest consumer of Amazon Textract, right when GenAI began reshaping what’s possible. Since then, we’ve built a suite of AI‑driven solutions that transform this data into real, measurable outcomes—accelerating benefits decisions for our Nation’s Veterans. Join us for a focused conversation on how an outcome‑driven approach to AI is helping us boost accuracy, streamline workflows, and deliver faster results for those who have served. This is a follow up to the AWS re:Invent 2023 "Intelligent Document Processing with Gen AI for Public Sector" presentation.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD
