Practical Use Cases and Implementation
Justin Herron
Presenter
AI has rapidly evolved from a niche research topic into an essential companion for everyday engineering workflows. Join us as Connor Tumbleson, one of the core members of Tampa Devs, speaks to common real world use cases for AI, from accelerating software development and automating repetitive tasks to improving decision making and enhancing product quality.
Connor will break down how developers are integrating AI into their toolchains today and highlight the practical benefits as someone directly in the weeds of daily AI implementations.
We’ll also take a brief look back at the origins and evolution of ChatGPT to understand how we arrived at the current generation of AI assistants. From early language models to today’s multimodal & tool enabled systems. We’ll examine how AI leverages plugins, APIs, and reasoning capabilities to accomplish increasingly complex engineering tasks.
