Part 1: Strategic foundations
Led by thoughtbot product experts, this part of the series will help product leaders, tech founders, and teams sort through their AI ideas, determine the most viable opportunities, and assess technical feasibility. If you’re unsure about where to start or how to approach AI, these roundtables will help you identify the right path forward.
In these sessions, we’ll cover topics like:
- Busting the common myths that hold teams back from starting AI projects
- Uncovering your best AI idea and validating it with real-world case studies
- Assessing whether AI is the right fit for your product, with a practical framework
- Managing AI projects after launch, including human oversight and quality assurance
Part 2: Intro to AI for web developers
In Part 2, thoughtbot CEO Chad Pytel will dive deeper into the technical aspects of working with large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. This more technical series will be invaluable for developers who want to integrate AI capabilities into their products. You’ll learn how to:
- Use LLMs to answer questions from internal documentation
- Summarize user-supplied information using the right LLM for your data
- Set up local LLMs and explore options for replacing third-party services like OpenAI
