If you're interested in the practical applications of AI and Large Language Models (LLMs), you'll find value in this talk and live demo. Calvin Hendryx-Parker, CTO of Six Feet Up, and Brad Fruth, Director of Innovation at Beck’s Hybrids presented, "Innovate with AI: Build ChatGPT-like Apps,” at a recent IndyPy — Indiana’s largest Python meetup founded in 2007.

The duo discussed a pilot LLM project they developed for Beck’s Hybrids, a seed company dedicated to helping farmers succeed. The application aims to provide farmers with useful insights, helping them improve agricultural practices and address challenges, including those related to climate change. Read our case study to learn more about the project.

This presentation is ideal for people looking to leverage AI for data-driven decision-making, increased productivity, and innovation. It goes beyond theory to include real-world examples and best practices.

Specifically, you’ll learn how to:

• gather data from multiple sources;
• build an AI framework using multiple AI models including OpenAI, LangChain, and Llama Index;
• test the framework to enhance the accuracy and relevancy of responses;
• deploy the app locally using Kubernetes; and
• spin up your own ChatGPT-like app using this GitHub repository. It’s packed with Python code (the 'lingua franca of AI') and ChatGPT-like app examples that will help you get started.

This IndyPy talk follows Calvin’s earlier presentation at Rally Innovation, an international conference featuring keynotes from well-known figures likes of Peyton Manning and Magic Johnson. So, you know you're in for a treat!
