January 27: Vibes, Volleys, & Vinyasas: Can “Bookie” an AI Agent Better Manage My Free Time?
We start the year with Bill Gold returning to discuss how he vibe coded his recreational schedule.
Thank you to NYU for hosting us.
Everybody attending must RSVP through the registration form at nyhackr. There is a charge for in-person and virtual tickets are free.
Space is extremely limited and in-person registration closes at 3 PM the day of the talk.
About the Talk: Juggling multiple recreational schedules spanning pickleball (three) yoga (two) and personal calendar (one), managing my recreational time is an ordeal.
I set out to automate my recreational scheduling by building “Bookie” an AI agent. As a data scientist I am proficient in modeling, data munging, visualizations and python/R. Leaning hard into vibe coding I’ve created and deployed “Bookie” hosted in the cloud to automate my recreational life. This agent works and includes multiple technologies I had not previously explored.
Key topics this talk will explore include: Delegating and abstraction levels. Building with unfamiliar technologies. Real world agent case study, Bookie.
