Talks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

🗣️ Paweł Strzałkowski
▶️ AI Interface in 5 Minutes - Model Context Protocol on Rails
🗒️ This talk delivers a low-risk, high-value AI strategy that applies to any Rails app, new or old. It proves the ecosystem's power to modernize existing assets in the AI era without the need for expensive rewrites. It teaches one of the key aspects of the modern AI tech stack, giving a competitive advantage.

🗣️ Rosa Gutiérrez
▶️ Machines that talk about themselves
🗒️ We'll start with four symbols and a printing machine. From there, we'll explore how a mathematical crisis from the 1930s ended up shaping everything we do as programmers today. No math background needed, just your curiosity.
