Phil Whittaker - uSync GPT: Redefining Configuration with Prompts

What if you could use simple prompts to create and interact with uSync files, generating precise and efficient outputs tailored to your Umbraco projects? In this session, Phil Whittaker will explore the cutting-edge integration of Large Language Models (LLMs)—through techniques like fine-tuning and function calling—to transform how we handle configuration and synchronisation in Umbraco.

We’ll uncover how a little configuration can go beyond generic AI outputs by systems like ChatGPT, unlocking smarter, more targeted solutions for managing and manipulating uSync files or other code bases. This talk will empower you to use your knowledge to make AI better for all.
