Build with AI Workshop -Harare

event date

10 May 2025

location

Impact Hub Harare Harare, Zimbabwe


Are you an AI practitioner, developer, or technologist passionate about building real-world solutions with cutting-edge tools? We’re inviting dynamic speakers and facilitators to lead practical, high-impact sessions for a hands-on workshop series focused on Gemini 2.0 use cases.

Each workshop will center around a live business challenge identified by startup founders and business leaders in attendance. You, the speaker, will guide participants—especially developers—through framing technical approaches and building viable prototypes to solve these challenges using Gemini-powered workflows.

🔍 Workshop Focus Areas

Speakers are encouraged (but not limited) to draw from the following Gemini 2.0 use cases:

1. Fine-Tuning with SQL

Teach how to convert natural language into SQL for enterprise-grade reporting and analytics. Ideal for data-savvy participants looking to fine-tune LLMs to business-specific queries.

2. LLM Inference for Application Integration

Demonstrate how to embed Gemini models into web or cloud apps using Transformers.js, helping participants bridge AI with frontend and backend systems.
