Summary
Two working engineers walk through how they apply AI in production work, followed by an open networking session. Vincent Pradeilles, Developer Relations at Photoroom, covers how e-commerce sites and apps can lift performance by using AI to improve image quality. Justin Garcia, a full stack application engineer at Kotoba, explains how the team trains its own frontier speech AI models and turns them into products customers can use.
Both talks are drawn from real deployments rather than demos, and there is time set aside for questions after the presentations. Japanese interpretation is available, so attendees who are not comfortable in English can still follow along.
The evening runs from 19:00 to 21:00 at Sam's Bar Tokyo in Shibuya. Attendance is free, and food plus one drink are provided. Organizers ask that anyone who signs up and later cannot attend cancels early so the seat goes to someone else.
