Kevin Rohling RSVP Approved

AI Researcher/Engineer at Conifer Labs
# Community Analysis - Leverages customer conversations across social and CRM platforms, we implemented Discourse first for this hackathon Sentiment Agent - This agent retrieves topic level posts and computes a quantified sentiment score for each topic as well as a rationale summarizing the topic conversations and why that led to the proposed score. Topic level scores are aggregated to compute a mean Community Sentiment Score Idea Generation Agent - This agent leverages customer conversations to generate recommendations for product bug fixes and new feature ideas. New feature ideas are then passed to a PRD generation agent that generates documentation for new features that can be handed off to a PM for further refinement Web Based Chat Agent (CopilotKit integration) - Embedded in our user interface is a chat agent that has access to all of the aggregated community data as well as agentially generated content (i.e. blog post, code examples, etc.). Users can query the agent about any data in our system and get immediate answers and recommendations. System architecture/Stack: NeonDB for Postgres database PostgREST for API implementation Vultr for API hosting Python/Crew AI for agent implementation TypeScript/Next.js for front end
Kevin Rohling is an AI engineer, researcher, and consultant focused on building practical AI systems that people actually use.
