​Session 2: Generative AI for Front-end Developers - Adam Cowley, Neo4j

​Don’t let Python developers have all of the fun with LLMs.

This talk is a gentle introduction to Generative AI and Large Language Models for front-end developers looking to build intelligent chatbots and applications. We’ll dive into Langchain.js, an open-source orchestration framework for building AI Applications.

We will start by exploring the basics of Generative AI (GenAI) and Large Language Models (LLMs), how they work, and cover some common pitfalls and how they can be avoided.
