Le rendez-vous des AI Builders #10

Le rendez-vous des AI Builders #10

From AI FIRST

Intelligence artificielle, no-code, automatisation, applications, prototypes, agents IA
 envie de passer de la thĂ©orie Ă  la pratique ? Nous rĂ©unissons des esprits curieux, entrepreneurs, freelances, crĂ©atifs, profils tech ou non-tech pour construire ensemble des mini-applications avec l’aide de l’IA, dans une ambiance accessible, collaborative et concrĂšte. Le principe est simple : **une consigne commune, un temps limitĂ©, un produit Ă  crĂ©er.** À chaque rencontre, tout le monde part du mĂȘme brief ou de la mĂȘme idĂ©e, puis utilise les outils d’IA pour imaginer, construire et prĂ©senter une application, un outil ou un produit **fonctionnel.** **Nous ne sommes pas :** une formation ou un cours sur l’IA. Une confĂ©rence sur l’IA. Un lieu pour faire du networking passif. DĂ©butants bienvenus, builders confirmĂ©s Ă©galement. L’objectif n’est pas d’ĂȘtre le meilleur builder, mais d’apprendre Ă  utiliser l’IA pour crĂ©er plus vite, tester des idĂ©es et progresser en construisant. **La thĂ©matique de la rencontre** **sera Ă©tablie le jour du meetup.** Exemples de dĂ©fis possibles : * crĂ©er une app pour organiser sa semaine avec l’IA ; * crĂ©er un assistant IA pour freelances ; * crĂ©er un outil de gĂ©nĂ©ration de posts LinkedIn ; * crĂ©er une landing page intelligente ; * crĂ©er un mini-SaaS en 2 heures ; * crĂ©er un agent IA capable d’automatiser une tĂąche simple. **Le format** C’est un mini-hackathon encadrĂ©, avec : 1. **19h** accueil des participants 1. **19h15** une courte introduction pour prĂ©senter le dĂ©fi du jour + brief commun donnĂ© Ă  tous les participants ; 1. **19h30** dĂ©but du build seul ou en binĂŽme ; 1. **21h30** prĂ©sentation des projets suivie d’un moment d’échange et de networking. Pas besoin de venir avec une idĂ©e. **Juste votre Pc portable et un abonnement Claude/ChatGPT 
** Nous donnons la consigne, vous construisez avec l’IA. L’objectif : crĂ©er du concret. **Pour nous trouver** **Salle sur la gauche en rentrant** **C’est un restaurant qui nous accueille (penser Ă  prendre une consommation)**
