Topics will include: Navigating use case landmines, effective ways to implement Gen AI in your business, a deep dive on tools we've built, the impact of generative AI on software development, insights on other large language models, and our perspective on a tool-based approach versus bespoke-built solutions, and why they're both important for organizations to consider in their day-to-day business.
