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.

I recently presented and co-hosted an Azure AI App in a Day workshop in Microsoft's Brisbane office, surrounded by 40+ developers who were just as excited as I am about learning AI and building innovative apps. It was an action-packed day, full of coding and collaboration, where we explored the possibilities of using AI in real-world applications. We dove deep into various Azure AI services, learning how to integrate machine learning models, natural language processing, and more into app innovations.

The workshop was not just about learning theory, we spent most of the time writing code together, which made it both engaging and practical. Everyone was there to push their limits and see how they could apply AI to solve real-world problems. There was a real sense of community and shared passion, which made the learning experience even more enjoyable.

During the session, I had the chance to share our own LEGO AI app with the group. This app, which we've built using several Azure AI services, helps students by providing them with AI-generated coding solutions for SPIKE Prime robots. It was great to show how AI can be used in education and robotics, two fields that are close to my passion. The feedback I received was incredibly positive. People were excited about how AI could be used in such practical, hands-on ways to empower the next generation of students and engineers.

Sharing the LEGO AI app also sparked some meaningful discussions. We talked about how AI can be integrated into everyday life, not just in high-tech or corporate environments, but in educational settings where students are learning to code, solve problems, and think critically. Developers were intrigued by the idea of using AI not only to build complex systems but also to inspire young minds. It was a reminder that AI has the potential to impact more than just technology - it can inspire creativity and learning in new ways.

One of the biggest takeaways from the workshop was the idea that the best AI app ideas often come from your passions. Whether it's education, robotics, or something completely different, finding an area you care about can lead to the most impactful and rewarding projects. When you're passionate about a subject, you naturally want to find better ways to improve or innovate, and that's where AI can really shine.

As I left the workshop, I was energized by all the new ideas floating around the room. It was a great reminder that AI is not just about data and algorithms. It's about creativity, innovation, and making life better in ways big and small. So, when you're looking for your next AI app idea, look to the passions in your life. You never know how AI might help turn your interests into something truly innovative.
