Tech Talk: Building Agentic Workflows
Speaker: Souvik Bagchi (Transformco)
Abstract: ChatGPT has shown us the potential of large language models (LLMs) in conversational interfaces, while Retrieve Augmented Generation (RAG) have equipped us with tools to extract and utilize information within our data using these LLMs. Looking beyond the basics, we aim to leverage LLMs to build agents that can power workflows in commercial or personal settings. These agents will revolutionize the way we work, augmenting human capabilities, in various industries by automating tasks and providing intelligent decision-making capabilities.

Tech Talk: Unconference style discussions
Speaker: Everyone
Abstract: Let's beat the heat by being engaged in several AI topic areas that matter to you!! We will do a participant-driven unconference style session, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconference)! This will also mean that you can be a speaker for this evening if you'd like (in a stress-free environment). We will vote on a few topic areas of your choice and form breakout groups to discuss each topic for up to 30 minutes. You are all free to choose the breakout group(s) of your choice (and can switch between them if desired so). Then we'll come back together and have each group share a summary of your discussion points. The process will be explained to you before we start the discussions. Please come with some ideas of any AI/ML related topic areas that you are passionate about.
