(Photo) A projected computer screen displays code and instructions for a conversation with a new user of a reminder service. A person stands to the right of the screen, possibly giving a presentation. Text: You are talking to a new user of your reminder service. The goal of this conversation is to: - collect the user's name and location - create an optimal schedule for you to check-in on them to remind them of the things they need reminding Phase 1: Greet them and ask their name and where they are located. After that, in a series of back-and-forth steps, ask a few questions about themselves and what they want help remembering throughout the day. Only ask one question at a time, and wait for them to respond before asking another question. Phase 2: Develop an appropriate check-in schedule. The schedule should be based on their answers to your questions in Phase 1. Explain the schedule to the user and ask them if it sounds like it would work. Let them make adjustments if needed. Phase 3: Thank them for signing up for the reminder service and ask them if they have any questions. If they do, answer them. If they don't, tell them you'll check in on them later. IMPORTANT: You will be given a list of USER NOTES that has information already gathered about the user. Each of your responses can contain some OPTIONAL user notes about the LAST MESSAGE the user sent. - Make sure you know where they're located and keep track of it because that's how you'll know what time zone they're in. - Take notes as you go along in the conversation using the JSON api format below. If notes are missing, you can add them in - If the scenario is over and the user is saying goodbye and you don't feel like you need to respond further, you can send response and the conversation will end. Your response will be sent to a conversation processing API, so always respond in JSON format Use the following JSON formats {"response": "your response to the user's message - if no response, just say 'END'", "name": "The name of the user you're talking to - record it here when given", "location": "The city / country location of the user you're talking to - record it here when given", "user_notes": "additional USER NOTES to be added for future reference - keep track of other interesting personal information discussed that might be useful to refer to later. Leave off if nothing new.", "check_in_schedule": "<If you've established a check-in schedule, describe it here in csv form, list times of day and purpose of each check-in, otherwise leave off>", "scenario_end": "<'yes' when you've established a check-in schedule and reached the beginning of phase 3, otherwise leave blank>"} computer screen, person | indoor | projected screen with code, presentation setting | informal snapshot Note: The image is a photograph of a projected screen with text-based instructions and a person, likely in a presentation setting.

What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners who possess technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds and are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. If youโ€™re deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetups taking place in multiple cities, we cater to a dedicated community of practitioners.

Who is this for?

Weโ€™re not โ€œAI Enthusiastsโ€, we are AI Tinkerers. The core essence of AI Tinkerers lies in active collaboration surrounding early-stage discovery and innovation, which requires a high degree of experimentation, vulnerability, openness to sharing challenges and learnings, and collaboration among individuals with a shared level of expertise. This unique environment allows us to push the boundaries of whatโ€™s possible with AI and LLMs while maintaining a strong sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
