Back where it all began, Microsoft Brisbane Office! Closed out our last AIAppInADay session of the season. What a ride! 🎢✨

It felt like a full circle: the exact same room where we kicked things off last September with Michelle and Tricia. This time, the space even had extra flair with Microsoft's 50th birthday balloons floating around!🎈🥳

The day ran super smoothly, and big thanks 🙌 to everyone who participated, asked thoughtful questions, and sparked some great conversations.

Some questions during the day:

🔹 Are vector and embedding the same thing? Not quite! A vector is just a list of numbers. An embedding is a special kind of vector that's learned by a model to represent something (like text or images) in a way that reflects meaning and relationships.

🔹 What's the definition for AI agent? It's a system or program that can autonomously perform tasks on behalf of a user or another system. Think of it like a smart assistant that can act on its own.

We loved the food 🍱 and swags 🎁 (Microsoft Azure & CodeIsLife t-shirts) as usual! Keep learning Microsoft AI Skills and join AI Skill Fest

What a day at Microsoft Reactor Sydney! Our AI App in One Day workshop was all about building intelligent app on Azure. The energy in the room was electric⚡️, fueled by enthusiastic participants from all levels of experience coming together to learn📚, code💻, and innovate💡!

We loved Code4Life & Azure T-shirts 👕, enjoyed delicious food and refreshing drinks, just to dive deep into building AI App. It was the perfect day for coding in Sydney on Monday.

We started the hard way: ingesting our own data, generating embeddings, building vector indexes, and performing semantic search from scratch 🔍. Then we leveled up: using LangChain to streamline the process. Why both ways? Because we are keen to understand the plumbing under the hood!🛠️

Absolutely loved the amazing vibe ✨ at Microsoft Reactor Sydney!

☀️ Beautiful weather and brilliant minds! Awesome time at AI App in a Day session at the Microsoft Auckland office! The sun was shining, the room was buzzing with energy, and we had a full house of curious participants ready to dive into AI app development on Microsoft Azure .

From setting up GitHub Codespaces, running the chatbot with RAG in action, and completing all three labs (even with 5 minutes to spare!) - It was one smooth ride. 🧠💻

As always, we tossed in a few brain teasers throughout the session to keep the energy and creativity levels high. You know it's been a brain-burner of a day when the coffee machine runs out of milk ☕💡

A huge shoutout to my Insight buddy, Rakesh - it's been such a pleasure running these sessions with you from the start. Your passion and hands-on coding experience continue to inspire and engage the community. 🔥 Watching you in action is always a highlight!

Fun factor: there are 915,103,765 ways to group six, 8-stud LEGO bricks ! (last photo)

🚀 AI App in a Day is back in Wellington! 🌿 During today's session, Rakesh and I explored AzureAI services, ContentSafety, AISearch, CosmosDB, LangChain, and various techniques to enhance LLM responses, ensuring more accurate, efficient, and context-aware AI solutions. 🚀🔍

This time, we added a Jupyter Notebook for Graph RAG (from Microsoft Research) as new lab exercise, and it was amazing to see one of the participants had already implemented GraphRAG in a past project! 🔥 Seeing real-world applications of AI in action is always inspiring.

Of course, no event is complete without tasty food and awesome swag! 🍕👕 Speaking of swag… quick question: does anyone know what number 42 stands for in the "Build on Azure - Code is Life" T-shirt? 🤔 (3rd photo) We could not figure it out !

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, it was an incredible day, especially with that stunning afternoon weather! ☀️

Keep building, keep innovating on Azure ! 💡✨

AI App in a Day @ Microsoft Sydney Office ! 🤖 Fantastic day at Room Gaba and Magari on Level 27, exploring AI on Microsoft Azure with an incredible group of engaged participants alongside my Insight colleague, Sadat on Monday!

We dove deep into PromptEngineering, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and exploring powerful services on Azure to build AIApp like: ✅ Azure OpenAI Service ✅ CosmosDB for MongoDB ✅ GPT and Embedding Models ✅ LangChain ✅ AzureAIFoundry ✅ Azure AISearch ✅ Azure ContentSafety ✅ DocumentIntelligence Service

✨The discussions were insightful, the hands-on experience was valuable, and the views from Level 27? Simply stunning! 🌆

💡A big thank you to everyone who joined and contributed to the learning experience. AI is evolving fast, and it's exciting to see the energy around building real-world AI solutions! 🚀

👏 Huge thanks for your support and organizing the event, Jeanne, Peachy, Michelle & Ross!

Delivering AI-Apps-in-a-Day workshop in Adelaide was an incredible experiene with my Insight teammate Sadat last Thursday!

We had the privilege of working with a room full of enthusiastic learners in South Australia, all eager to build enterprise AI applications using Microsoft Azure cloud and AzureAI services. The energy was electric, a full house of engaged minds ready to turn ideas into reality while prioritizing security and ResponsibleAI.

Our sessions covered Azure AI services like AIFoundry, OpenAI Service, AISearch, and ContentSafety, plus Speech, Vision, and Translator. In the hands-on labs, we explored the RAG pattern, data ingestion, embedding creation, and vector search. It was amazing to see everyone successfully build chatbots powered by their own CosmosDB knowledge base, orchestrated with LangChain.

It was fantastic to see attendees take their AI skills to the next level! Can't wait to see what everyone builds next. If you attended, what was your biggest takeaway from the session?

One last AIAppInOneDay workshop in 2024 at the Microsoft Canberra office to wrap up the year! On what turned out to be a record-hot day🔥, the energy in the room was even hotter (and no, it wasn't just because one of the A/C units went down in the morning 😅).

We dove into building AI apps using Azure AI Services, and the excitement was contagious! 🎉 We discussed questions on topics like evaluating LLM responses using AIFoundry and dove into experiments with GraphRAG from Microsoft Research.

The session was filled with insightful questions, innovative ideas, and collaborative problem-solving ✨, highlighting the transformative power of AI in reshaping how we think and develop.

A huge shoutout to all the participants for your curiosity and engagement that made this workshop a remarkable success! 🙌 We did it again, Ahmed Youssef! 💡 Special thanks to Tracey, Michelle, and Ross for organizing this fantastic workshop!

Innovation overload in Auckland! 🚀 Just rounded off another unforgettable AIAppinOneDay workshop in Microsoft office with Ahmed, and it was all about getting our hands dirty with Azure AI services.

Yep, we built a RAG chatbot from scratch 💬 - embedding generations, vector searches, LangChain orchestration. It was like taking OpenAI models to the next level, with a vibe that screamed: "Let's build cool stuff!"

The best bit?💡Realizing we can make AI apps for literally anything. Work? Sorted. Fun? Oh yeah. What about an app to predict the next lottery numbers (an idea from crowd) ! Are we coding or dreaming? Who cares - it's genius.

Shoutout to everyone in the room who brought the energy, ideas, and what if moments. 🤝

Incredible Microsoft AI AppinaDay Workshop in Wellington, my first time to the lovely city!

It's fantastic to see so much enthusiasm in the room as we dive into the capabilities of Azure AI services. The questions and engagement from everyone attending are truly impressive. Really great running the session with my Insight teammates Ross and Ajay!

We are back at Microsoft Brisbane office again for our second Azure AI App in a Day workshop.

Ready to build the next million-dollar app in just a day? 💡 We've just completed our second AzureAIAppInADay in Brisbane Microsoft office. Rakesh Lakshminarayana and I had so much fun leading the workshop, and we're glad to see more participants make it to the end - some of you without even a dev background! It's been amazing to keep the momentum going. A big thank you to Tricia Read and Ross Johnson.

In this workshop, we got hands-on with AI app development, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), prompt engineering and built a chatbot using CosmosDb for MongoDb. With the power of Azure and OpenAI, we're helping organizations bring their AI ideas to life!

Excited to see what incredible apps come next! Our Insight team is around to help.
