Letting AI Out of the Box

Free Workshop

1:30 – 4:30 pm

Summary

Eli “the Computer Guy” Etherton, who’s provided tech education on YouTube to his 1M+ followers since 2009, will deliver a 3-hour session showing different ways to allow AI to interact with the world, and to show ways to interact with AI that go beyond the keyboard and mouse. The session will cover Function calling, voice commands, computer vision, Raspberry Pi’s and Arduino’s, using Twilio and ElevenLabs to build telephone AI agents, and much more!

Additional Details

This session is going to show different ways to allow AI to interact with the world, and to show ways to interact with AI that go beyond the keyboard and mouse.

We will demonstrate and explain how AI can be used for Function calling in scripts and how to integrate voice commands and response in AI scripts.

We’ll demonstrates examples of using computer vision and show why systems that provide x/y coordinates allow you to do some pretty cool things.

We’ll demonstrate how to use AI with Raspberry Pi’s and Arduino’s to trigger physical events with relays and servos along with discussing the systems architecture required for AI in an IoT environment.

Finally we’ll show how Twilio and ElevenLabs can be used to build telephone AI agents that can trigger events on servers.

The goal of this session is to expand the view of AI beyond the datacenter and on how to create useful tools in for the physical world. This will be a lot of demonstration with only specifics snippets of the code broken out and explained. Code for all of the projects will be on GitHub for further review.
