Hands-on AI Workshop with Boston Azure AI Community Thank you Bill Wilder Boston Azure AI Microsoft Azure #semantickernel #azureAI #bostonAI #langchain #bedrock #sagemaker #azure #autogen #llamaImdex #haystack Exciting to see the possibilities with Semantic Kernel Task Automation

Good turn out at today’s #SemanticKernel workshop in Cambridge. ⁦Bill Wilder⁩ and ⁦JuanPablo⁩ presenting.

We're looking for new speakers/students who would like to give a lightning talk at the upcoming #GlobalAIBootcamp in Boston on 3/22 with Boston Azure AI. Bill Wilder Jason Haley and I are happy to brainstorm and help you prep if needed. Feel free to reach out! #AI

Looking forward to it! Anyone in the greater Boston area should consider coming by. Free. Sat Mar 29. This is the 38th (!) edition of the Boston Code CAmp (sic, as I like that the capital "A" looks like a tent). #boscc
