Had a blast yesterday with at the hashtag #BeersAndBots event talking about Conversation Design and AI. We combined the old and the new and used my camera & DALL-E to generate an AI image based off a couple of questions and visitors' appearance. Hope you had fun Merijn Spelt, Joris van Seijen, Joachim Jonkers, Esha Metiary and the 20+ other we 'took photos' off. And sorry again Amber van der Zeyst for the unintended Salvador Dali inspired face swap😉 Thomas Eilering Simon Csoma Serkses van Etteger Patrick van Rietschoten …see more

Impeccable event, perfect location and good laughs! The trip from Portugal was well worth it. 😉 🍻🤖

Thanks to Barend Jungerius for the fanastic #BeersAndBots gathering in Amsterdam last Thursday. Great to connect with friends old and new. BTW, in a room full of 70+ conversation designers this content strategist made it onto the leaderboard for Maaike Groenewege's pub quiz 😀 - and I had previously booked the winner of the contest, Wouter Sligter, for a chat on my Content + AI podcast - stay tuned for that episode.

Maaike Groenewege warned us in advance that her quiz on #conversationalai and #generativeai at #BeersAndBots Amsterdam would be really difficult. So I guess that means I scored the least bad of 70 attendees and as a result I won the cup/mug(shot) 🏆🎉😄 Thanks for the fun quiz Maaike, and thanks for organizing another great event for the AI community Barend Jungerius 🍻➕🤖 !

Our ParsLabs team visited #BeersAndBots in Amsterdam this Thursday. I had a lot of fun getting to know other people from Conversational AI space, learning about how others are integrating generative AI into their work and discussing the future of AI assistants. Thanks Barend Jungerius 🍻➕🤖 for hosting Conversational AI community event, I want more of those! Shutout to Maaike Groenewege for organising a fun quiz! Ended up in top 5 and got a cute mug to remind me of this event. And thank you Sascha Molokostova for keeping me company and being an amazing teammate!

Was het echt zo saai? Natuurlijk niet! Geloof het of niet, maar deze ware actiefoto werd genomen tijdens de CAI/GAI quiz van Maaike Groenewege. MILAN MEYBERG, Joris van Seijen, Merijn Spelt, Wouter de Vries (en Anna Hoogterp die de foto nam) deden mee op het #BeersAndBots network event in Café de Kroon. Leuk om kennis te maken met de medesponsor Twin AI die ons verraste met Generated Polaroids en uiteraard fijn om ook zoveel bekende gezichten te zien van, zoals van Sinch en Budget Thuis. Op dit toffe event dronken we met andere mensen uit de Conversational en Generative AI een biertje. De kans om nieuwe contacten te leggen en ervaringen te delen over het werken met AI werd met beide handen aangegrepen. Shout-out naar Barend Jungerius 🍻➕🤖 die dit weer tot in de puntjes heeft georganiseerd. We hopen iedereen bij de volgende editie weer te verwelkomen! Geïnteresseerd? Stuur ons een bericht, dan houden we je op de hoogte! We wensen jullie alvast een fijn weekend!  See translation

Staying dry and the dignity of data. Last night was cold and dreary Amsterdam at its worst. Grim faced Amsterdammers crammed into the metro, gritted their teeth and rode bikes headfirst into the ice-cold rain or sheltered under umbrellas and shuffled from place to place as quickly as possible. I however was completely oblivious to all of this as I spent the evening inside, happy, warm and dry 😀 . Drinking beer with Frank Mester and chatting with a group of conversation designers at the fantastic network event "Beers and Bots" organised by Barend Jungerius 🍻➕🤖. combined with a hilarious pub quiz by Maaike Groenewege plus some inspirational conversations with Joris van Seijen and MILAN MEYBERG about the positive role that AI could have in our future interactions with our environment. (really mindblowing stuff) This morning, without a hangover or regrets, I started the day where I left off: Thinking about how important the quality of the conversations and data is, and how these professionals might be one of the most crucial factors in successful AI project implementations. It reminded me of a Q+A I watched recently by my "personal Yoda" Jaron Lanier from Microsoft and at the same time it lined up with the end of a model training phase where the AI team at MvR Digital Workforce (successfully) fine tuned an LLM for a helpdesk scenario. A lot of good things came together on a grey Thursday. #BeersAndBots

Sure we have a lot of fun, networking with nice people from leading AI companies, from all over Europe and talking a little bit about how AspinBots using Blip are running great #chatbot projects in Latin America. Thanks Barend for your warm welcome in Amsterdam with beer&bots, and hope to meet you all again next year!

🌟 Reflecting on an unforgettable experience at #BeersAndBots! 🍻🤖 Last week's Beers and Bots event in Amsterdam was a conversational experience! One that I won't forget. Thanks to the brilliant organizer, Barend Jungerius 🍻➕🤖 Jungerius, for bringing together an incredible group of conversation designers and other content + AI enthusiasts under one cozy roof. 🤖🤖🤖 As a content designer, stepping into conversation design was refreshing. Seeing how our work overlaps and intersects was fascinating, yet each discipline inhabits its unique bubble. The warmth of the atmosphere made it easy to connect with fellow designers despite coming from different backgrounds. 🤖🤖 What struck me most was how intertwined our disciplines genuinely are. In an increasingly conversational world, where interactions with technology become more human-like, the lines between content and conversation blur. It's about creating seamless, engaging experiences that resonate with users on a deeper level. No matter what your profession is in the UX space. 🍻I'm incredibly grateful for finally meeting live Maaike Groenewege and the new connections made Paulina Lewandowska Lena Shakurova Max Traeger Amber van der Zeyst Merijn Spelt Wouter Sligter. ❤️ Events like these remind me why I love what I do and reaffirm my belief in the transformative power of content and design. #BeersAndBots #conversationdesign #chatbots #conversationalai #ai #contentdesign

Afgelopen week was het weer zover: Beers & Bots! 🍻➕🤖 Leuk om weer mede-conversation designers en andere mensen uit het vak gesproken te hebben over chatbots, generative AI en ander vaknerdgepraat. Heerlijk om dit alles te kunnen doen onder het genot van een biertje. Veel nieuwe mensen leren kennen, bijgekletst met oude bekenden, gehoord over interessante projecten en verschillende perspectieven over de hot topic: de toepassing van generative AI in chatbots. De kers op de taart? Een unieke, door Twin AI gegenereerde foto van mezelf. Bedankt Barend Jungerius 🍻➕🤖 voor de organisatie! Op naar de volgende 😁 #BeersAndBots See translation
