Getting ready to go live with Matt Genovese! Link below

In this week's Mastering LLMs YouTube Live session, we're joined by Matt Genovese, CEO of Planorama to explore one of the most critical aspects of generative AI applications: user experience (UX) design. During our conversation, we will dive into the unique design hurdles posed by LLM-powered applications and how to create seamless user experiences. Matt brings 27 years of experience as a technologist, spanning semiconductor engineering, software product development, and cutting-edge AI solutions. As the founder of Planorama, he leads teams that bring design-first, customer-centric approaches to complex, technical software challenges. His deep expertise in UX/UI design, paired with real-world applications of generative AI, provides a powerful perspective for tackling the ambiguity and complexity users face when interacting with LLMs. In this session, we’ll cover how to:  • Help users write effective prompts in LLM applications.  • Address the challenge of ambiguity in user inputs and model responses.  • Build systems-level controls that guide users and streamline interactions. If you’re a product manager, UX designer, or developer looking to enhance the user experience in AI applications, this session will offer actionable insights and strategies to build better, user-friendly systems. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from two industry leaders in the AI and design space! Come join us this Friday, October 11 at 12pm EDT https://lnkd.in/d9HvkyRa

Your GenAI project is BLIND without a Performance Evaluation Framework. This is the BIGGEST challenge developers experience when deploying LLM-based solutions 👉 Getting visibility into how well they are working. We explain this in Prolego's Performance-Driven Development (PDD) methodology, a framework for building LLM-based solutions, which you can read on our Github repo: https://lnkd.in/gNb5Nx-z. But if you want the tl;dr check out this video where Kevin Dewalt explains how you can build a Performance Evaluation Framework. https://lnkd.in/gkEeKiYy

In this week's episode of Prolego's YouTube Live Series: Mastering LLMs hosted by Kevin Dewalt, we're joined by Global Technology Executive Tim Jones to discuss the future of the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model in the era of Generative AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs). SaaS has long been a favorite among investors for its high margins and Internet-based scalability, driving companies like Salesforce and Workday to incredible heights. However, LLMs are reshaping the landscape by enabling smaller teams to build custom software solutions at a fraction of the cost and time, potentially upending the traditional SaaS model. Tim and I have decades of experience in both SaaS and AI as founders, venture capitalists, and angel investors, offering a unique vantage point to tackle this critical question: Will LLMs disrupt SaaS, or do they represent an opportunity for a new wave of AI-powered software companies? Are you the bootstrap founder setting out to crush Salesforce? Or an existing SaaS company trying to figure out how to leverage LLMs? Maybe you're an angel investor looking for your next big bet in this transformative space. Regardless of where you stand, this lively discussion will offer valuable insights from the world's leading experts on the future of SaaS and AI. Don’t miss it!

We're excited to announce the launch of Prolego's YouTube Live Series: Mastering LLMs hosted by Kevin Dewalt, founder and CEO of Prolego. Each week, we dive into GenAI development strategies with experts in the field. This week, we welcome Shanif Dhanani, founder of Locusive, whose work we recently discovered on LinkedIn, where his content stood out for the specific, actionable techniques for solving real business problems with LLMs—unlike much of the generic AI drivel appearing in your LinkedIn news feed. If you’re a founder, engineer, or product manager, you’ll gain valuable insights from this conversation - come join us.

Are you thinking about building your own generative AI product and curious about what it really takes? Wondering what’s behind the AI hype? Join us for a live, no-nonsense YouTube Live discussion where Shanif Danani, CEO of Locusive, and I break down the practical realities of working with large language models (LLMs). We’ll dive deep into how you can tap into their power, the engineering hurdles you’ll face, and the product challenges that come with solving real-world customer problems. Don’t miss this chance to ask questions and learn from a successful entrepreneur pushing the boundaries of AI innovation. Mark your calendars for 9/20 at 11am EDT. See you there!

Unless you're tackling something trivially simple, your GenAI project will get stuck. You'll struggle with performance metrics, error prevention, degradation detection, and project timelines. Teams find themselves in perpetual experimentation because traditional software engineering methods can't handle the unpredictability of these models. To solve for these challenges, the team at Prolego has developed a new methodology for building and deploying GenAI solutions, we call it, Performance Driven Development (PDD). It's not hard—just a different way of working—and you can get started in about 15 minutes with generated data and spreadsheets. If you're curious, come join our free virtual workshop hosted by Kevin Dewalt will teach you how to use PDD to get your GenAI project unstuck. No time for a workshop? You can read up on PDD on Github: https://lnkd.in/gNb5Nx-z.

Just finished running through my slides. This is going to be fun... Thanks Pinecone and Grigoriy (Greg) Kogan for a great opportunity. Looking forward to sharing the stage Nathan Cordeiro

Together with Pinecone, the world's largest vector database company, and one of the most successful generative AI startups, we'll be discussing results from Prolego's LLM RAG Study (https://hubs.ly/Q02rRDV30), demonstrating how small and open source LLMs can be better options for most enterprise RAG deployments. The workshop is free, so come join us! Please, help us spread the word!
