Summary
Ovidijus Parsiunas leads a hands-on session on using large language models as practical tools beyond chat interfaces. The talk covers how LLM APIs work, tool and function calling, and structured outputs, then walks through real-world examples like automating simulations, games, and using AI as a brain for the surrounding environment.
The format is a 30 to 40 minute presentation and workshop with Q&A, followed by networking. No equipment is needed; the speaker handles setup. The session is aimed at developers and anyone curious about applying AI to real-life problems.
The event is free, with a one-drink minimum at Sam's Bar in Shibuya. Food is available on site.
