Field Reports: What Fellow Artificial Intelligencers Are Building & Exploring

Thank you, Vaco, for generously hosting our collective on the odd months of the year! Join us for an informative evening where local professional, amateur, and student community members (including you!) share “wires-out” demos, technical deep-dives, and discussions of AI-related projects or research they are working on, tools and techniques they have tried, or research papers/publications/presentations that they find insightful. This event is for those just starting to explore the technical aspects of AI, experienced AI professionals, and everyone in between. See you there!

We're are maintaining a list of folks who express an interest in sharing what they are working on. So, please let Dan and Ram know if you'd like to share something with the community via a message here on Meetup or in our Discord channel (https://discord.gg/H38zBzzC). And, if you know of hosts or sponsors for our community gatherings.

0600 pm -- Setup/Meet & Greet "free time"
0615 pm -- Demos/presentations (15- 20 min each)
0745 pm -- Wrap-up

    Field Reports: What Fellow Artificial Intelligencers Are Building & Exploring

    • Carlton Davis will show how he is building a Claude skill that generates a spreadsheet to calculate and categorize his business expenses from inputs are an export of his Google Calendar and AMEX statements.
    • Rajeev Gupta will show us how he’s overcoming challenges slicing JIRA data in ways the platform doesn't natively support, despite having no coding background and lacking dedicated engineering support.
    • Ross Miller will demonstrate ways to improve the safety of AI responses over time for highly regulated industries like healthcare by harnessing them with type-safe error handling, automated enforcement scripts, structured adversarial review, and root cause analyses to improve safety over time.
    • Matthias Debernardini will walk us through three projects he developed: an iroh-based (https://www.iroh.computer/) peer-to-peer AI gateway and two apps he's using it for: one a calorie/kitchen/peptide tracker, and the second an agent bridge for Hermes (https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/).
