π€π‘ Cool AI Stuff I learned about last week π§ ππ
Wanna build your own AI Agent? Check out CrewAI β A framework to create and deploy your own AI Agents. They have a super small team and scaled the company using a lot of their own AI Agents π
Wanna learn about AI insights by an AI startup founder? I attended a Startup Grind meetup and learned some great insights from a conversation by Paul Canetti (Business professor at Columbia & CTO of Skey) and Joshua Ness (Managing Director Startup Grind) about the future of AI and insights into building your own AI startup.
The Top 3 learnings from that event are:
"Everyone can program now. With AI, we democratize programming." -> We can all go in and use that powerful tool. But if everyone has access, this is not your differentiator anymore.
We now have conversational interfaces. We now use natural language. -> Will we ever need any computational interfaces anymore?
"We do as much as possible with Software Programming and only use AI for the last bit" -> the more you take responsibility away from AI the better your product will perform
