SUMMARY:Perth AI Builders Get Together
DESCRIPTION:​Perth AI Builders is a new community meetup focused on the practical side of AI\, especially the fast-moving world of LLMs\, agentic workflows\, AI tooling and startup building. \n​At this session\, Marcus Holmes will be giving a talk on “how to use an LLM to actually build something”\, going through the process from simple chatbot copy/paste to multi-layered agentic coding. \n​This session is aimed at relatively inexperienced folks\, but as everyone has developed their own workflow\, even the more experienced vibe-coders may find something interesting here. And the principles shown here for software development can also be applied to other areas.
