## Learn to Build Your Own AI Assistants: A Hands-on Introduction to Relevance AI
Join us for an engaging and educational meetup where we'll dive into the exciting world of no-code AI development with Relevance AI. Discover how to build your own simple AI agents to automate tasks, answer questions, and supercharge your workflows—no coding experience required!
In this interactive session, we'll demystify the process of creating AI agents and walk you through the intuitive Relevance AI platform. You'll learn the fundamental concepts behind building intelligent assistants and get hands-on experience creating a few of your own.
What We'll Cover:- An Introduction to Relevance AI: We'll start with a clear and concise overview of the Relevance AI platform, exploring its key features and diverse use cases. You'll understand how it empowers everyone, from business professionals to hobbyists, to build powerful AI without writing a single line of code.
- The Building Blocks of AI Agents: Learn about the core components of an AI agent within Relevance AI, including "tools" that give your agents capabilities and "knowledge bases" that provide them with information to draw upon.
- Hands-On Agent Building: This is where the fun begins! We'll roll up our sleeves and build a couple of simple yet practical AI agents together. Potential projects include:
- A Simple FAQ Chatbot: Create a chatbot that can instantly answer frequently asked questions about a specific topic, product, or service.
- A Website Summarizer Agent: Build an agent that can take a URL and provide a concise summary of the webpage's content.
- A Basic Recommendation Agent: Explore how to create an agent that can suggest resources, articles, or products based on user input.
- Q&A and Networking: We'll have ample time for questions, and you'll have the opportunity to connect with fellow attendees who are also excited about the potential of AI.
Who Should Attend:
This meetup is perfect for anyone curious about artificial intelligence and its practical applications, regardless of technical background. If you're a marketer, entrepreneur, student, or simply an enthusiast eager to learn how to leverage AI, this event is for you. No prior programming knowledge is necessary.
What to Bring:
To participate in the hands-on portion, please bring a laptop and create a free Relevance AI account beforehand at https://relevance.ai/.Join our community of innovators and take your first step into the world of AI-powered automation. We look forward to building with you!
We also have a Discord server to chat with others about AI: https://discord.gg/DVkh4c2J <- The slides for the presentation will also be posted in here
- 757 AI Collective: Supercharge Your Coding with AI - A Hands-on Intro to CursorTCC / Virginia Beach Joint-Use Library, Virginia Beach, VI
## Supercharge Your Coding with AI: A Hands-on Intro to Cursor
Ready to see how Artificial Intelligence can revolutionize your coding workflow? Join us for an interactive workshop on Cursor, the AI-powered IDE built for speed and efficiency. We'll go from setup to deploying a simple app and game, all while learning the powerful features that make Cursor a game-changer.
This session is all about practical, hands-on learning. We'll show you how to leverage AI to code faster, debug smarter, and manage your projects with ease.***
### What We'll Cover 🚀
- Meet Cursor: We'll start with a tour of the Cursor interface, showing you how it combines the familiarity of VS Code with groundbreaking AI capabilities.
- AI-Assisted Game Dev: Together, we'll build a small, classic game (like Snake or Pong) from scratch. You'll see firsthand how Cursor's AI can generate code, suggest logic, and accelerate development.
- Building a Simple App: Next, we'll create a practical application, like a to-do list or a basic weather app, using AI to handle boilerplate code and implement features.
- Mastering Your Workflow: We'll show you how to connect Cursor to your GitHub account for seamless version control. You'll also learn how to use Cursor's "Rules" to provide custom context for the AI and get more accurate suggestions.
- Learn to Prompt like a Pro: We'll cover prompt engineering for complex projects and workflows and how to create a proper product requirement document and development checklist to keep track of each step.
- Clone a Site with Firecrawl: Lastly, we'll use Firecrawl MCP to clone nearly any website.
- Q&A and Networking: Got questions? We'll have plenty of time to answer them and for you to connect with other developers exploring the future of coding.
