Before taking this class, I felt like AI was more of a trend. It was the latest hammer, looking for nails. However, after attending the summit, I realized the varied uses that I was unintentionally ignoring. At work, my development teams use OpenAI API, NLP and LLMs in our products, and we played with some coding assistants. I personally used gen AI for silly things, general questions and answers, or funny haikus, but very surface level. After the summit, I realized the potential that small businesses and individuals will be afforded and decided to sign up to better see the potential ahead of us.
I am able to now see the varied uses and benefits of using Gen AI in many different ways and I see how the future will be impacted by this technology. I have been able to set up a recipe database for personal use. While it's just the start of what I'm trying to do with building out a meal planning app based on specific recipes, I was able to accomplish that fairly quickly and easily. Another win for me was being able to create automation to take emails from my inbox and create Purchase Orders and send them. I plan to extend that to also do invoicing. And I started to play around with creating my own Development Team in Flowise, with a Product Designer, an Architect, a Developer, a QA Engineer, a DevOps Engineer, and a Technical Writer. That one needs a lot more tweaking, but I could see it progressing. I've attached the team and an example of an architecture for my meal planning database.
I definitely see the many benefits of being able to incorporate gen AI into various day to day activities and I'm looking forward to continuing to build on my current knowledge and grow and learn. I'm hoping to work with others to adopt AI to help their businesses grow and evolve.
