BRAIN: AI Applications & Tooling Meetup

Come share and learn how people are actually using AI in their day-to-day work, whether that's coding, engineering, creative projects, or solving business problems.

We skip the "what is AI" basics, focusing more on practical, real workflows, useful tools, and honest experiences. You don't need to be an AI expert, just curious to learn more.

This month Borhan Zadeh runs an interactive workshop on rapid prototyping with GitHub Copilot and Vercel.

Borhan is an experienced software developer with a special interest in rapid prototype development, and more recently in generative AI development.

The workshop covers building prototypes quickly with GitHub Copilot, integrated with Vercel for free, instant hosting.

BYOD: bring a laptop if you'd like to follow along.

What to expect

• Main talk: a 45-60 minute feature talk on an emerging AI technology or a unique use-case.

• Lightning talks: stand up for five minutes and show how you use AI day to day, or a project you're excited about. Bring your own.

• News about BRAIN (the Ballarat Regional AI Network) and future meetups.

Who should come: anyone already tinkering with AI or ready to move beyond the basics. Developers, engineers, creators, and business folks are all welcome. Bring your laptop if you want to try things out.

Hosted by

Dr Rob Layton from BRAIN, the Ballarat Regional Artificial Intelligence Network. Rob has more than 15 years of experience working with AI, leads the Ballarat AI Meetups, and is a highly experienced technology trainer.

This is a collaboration between BRAIN (www.brain.net.au) and the Ballarat Hackerspace. We're planning more sessions, so let us know if you'd like to present your own AI workflow at a future meetup.

Tickets are required, so grab yours and we'll see you there.

New to AI, or after a friendlier intro? Come to the Ballarat AI Exchange instead. See the previous AI Exchange.
