Join us for our Intro to AI Development Workshop, a full-day, hands-on program where you’ll build your first AI web application and learn the fundamentals of creating your own AI apps.No coding experience is required. Every participant will receive free API key credits to experiment with leading models such as GPT, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and more.By the end of the workshop, you will have built a custom Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot. You’ll upload your own dataset, prompt the chatbot to generate outputs, and see how industry-standard GenAI models can be integrated into practical applications. This project-based approach gives you a clear starting point to extend your skills into more advanced AI development.The day concludes with a showcase where participants can demo their projects, connect with peers, and ask questions directly to the instructors from Circuit Stream.We look forward to seeing what you create!<h3>Event Details</h3><ul><li>Date: October 18, 2025</li><li>Time: 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM (6 hours)</li><li>Location: University of Calgary, Room EEEL 161</li><li>Event Instructor: Guillaume Duteaud</li></ul><h3>What You'll Learn</h3><ul><li>How to use Python to interact with leading AI models like OpenAI’s GPT, Anthropic’s Claude, Google Gemini, Meta's Llama, and more</li><li>How to upload documents and connect them to an AI assistant using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)</li><li>How to prompt, test, and fine-tune your assistant to answer questions accurately using your own data</li><li>How modern web apps integrate AI features—from concept to deployment</li></ul>What's Included<ul><li>A full day of hands-on training in AI development using Python and real industry tools</li><li>A working AI assistant that you build using your own dataset, and can continue to expand after the workshop</li><li>Free API credits to experiment with tools like GPT, Claude, Gemini, and Llama</li><li>A project template and resource bundle to support your next steps after the workshop</li><li>A chance to meet instructors, developers, and other aspiring AI builders during the workshop showcase</li><li>A catered lunch</li></ul><h3>Who Should Attend</h3>This workshop is designed for aspiring AI developers, career changers, and curious professionals who want to start building with AI.
