- One minute readWrapping up for the weekend. Spending the last two working hours of the week reflecting on what happened - it has been an intense week - and preparing for what is ahead.
💡 Yesterday I had the opportunity to be part of the “Generative AI Builder Day for AdTech, MarTech, and Agency Customers” Event in our New York offices. A day packed with mind shifting presentations by Gary Stafford and Randall DeFauw, intense hands-on workshops on diving into building a Moodboard application based on Generative AI and Implementing the Retrieval Augmented Generation architecture patterns.
⛑ Both workshops are based on Amazon Bedrock and are available online:
- Generative AI for Advertising and Marketing Industry - https://workshops.aws/card/Generative%20AI%20for%20Advertising%20and%20Marketing%20Industry
- Build a RAG based question answer solution using Amazon Bedrock Knowledge Base, vector engine for Amazon OpenSearch Service Serverless and LangChain - https://github.com/aws-samples/bedrock-kb-rag-workshop/blob/main/blog_post.md You can run them self-paced or reach out to me to arrange for a “guided tour”.
🙏 Thanks to Gerry Louw for inviting me over and to Ramesh Jetty, Zelle Steyn and the entire team (impossible for me to name everyone in here ;)) for building and executing this event. I heard amazing customer feedback and took quite some input with me. Looking forward to run a similar event in EMEA. Stay tuned!
