What we’re about
AppliedAI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit producing a conference, podcast, newsletter, YouTube channel, and monthly meetup that develops Minnesota’s next generation of experts by educating citizens of all ages on the tools, processes, and applications that are needed to implement solutions that use Artificial Intelligence (AI). The organization runs regular events that involve training, learning, and sharing real-world projects where AI is applied to solve problems that impact our lives.
Additionally, we encourage you to subscribe to our Conversation On Applied AI Podcast. We publish new episodes every other week on topics related to Artificial Intelligence and its applications! We also publish a Monthly Newsletter with details on our current events and ways to engage with our community.
What is Artificial Intelligence
In computer science, artificial intelligence (AI), sometimes called machine intelligence, is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence displayed by humans. Leading AI textbooks define the field as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is often used to describe machines (or computers) that mimic "cognitive" functions that humans associate with the human mind, such as "learning" and "problem solving".
What is AppliedAI?
Simple. :) It's the real-world applications that these far-fetched, big ideas lead to. Some things around us that are applications of AI include digital assistants (Google Home, Alexa), self-driving cars, robots, chatbots and many many more!
Who should go AppliedAI Meetups?
This group is a place for anyone who is interesting in learning, sharing and applying Artificial Intelligence to their products and services. It's also for people of all ages just interested in what's going on in the AI space by networking and talking with real-world practitioners of this exciting and new technology.
What happens at AppliedAI Meetups?
• We have speakers and panelists talking about AI in real-world scenarios
• We do demos of AI related projects and explain how they work
• We discuss, where AI has been, where it is today and where it's heading in the future
• We have fun!

Sponsors
This event is sponsored by Lab651 & Recursive Awesome - AI Innovators Lab - GenAI AgentsLab651, St Paul, MN
We are excited to have you join us as we kick off a new series on GenAI Agents.
Before this meeting, please clone the repository here:
https://github.com/NirDiamant/GenAI_Agents
and have the first example working entitled:
"Simple Conversational Agent"
For those who have not attended in the past, the AI Innovator Labs are dynamic, interactive sessions. These sessions aren’t your typical classroom lectures or formal presentations; instead, they offer a space for collaboration, problem-solving, and real-world application. Each session is led by Justin Grammens, a seasoned expert in AI, but the format is flexible and encourages participants to bring their challenges and ideas.
Just bring your laptop and a willingness to dive into new ideas. This is an open environment where we encourage creative thinking and practical problem-solving.After this initial meeting, we intend to continue having additional meetings in the future to work through many more agents!
