Meeting #38: GenAI - How to Make a Do-EVERYTHING Assistant!

We're delighted to welcome back one of our most-loved presenters, AWS's Danilo Poccia! We're once again grateful to the wonderful Bradfield Centre, which has been kind enough to host us.

Last session, we took a look at Bedrock and Amazon Q, as a gentle introduction to GenAI.

In this meeting, Danilo's going to show us how to use AWS's GenAI services to create an all-in-one chat tool that can:

• Search and browse the web in real-time
• Query Wikipedia for information
• Perform news and map searches
• Safely execute Python code that can produce text and images such as charts and diagrams
• Compose long-form articles mixing text and images
• Generate, search, and compare images
• Analyze documents and images
• Search and download arXiv papers
• Generate and save conversations as text and audio files
• Save files to the output directory
• Track personal improvements
• Manage checklists for task tracking

...which sounds pretty darn spectacular to us!

Here's the order of events. All times are GMT, and are approximate:

• 1830 Doors open: snacks, soft drinks and mixing
