Solo Devs' AI Odyssey: From Code to Calm

In an era where technology and mindfulness intersect, the power of AI is reshaping how we approach app development. This session delves into the fascinating world of utilising artificial intelligence to expedite and streamline the development process of a mobile meditation app. We'll explore how Azure AI Speech, DALL-E, Azure OpenAI, and GitHub Copilot converge to eliminate the need for visual designers, voice actors, and sound designers, thereby revolutionising the traditional development workflow.

Attendees will journey through the creation of a self-guided meditation app, learning how different AI technologies can be harnessed to rapidly prototype and even produce market-ready mobile applications. Highlighting two projects – one that generates daily meditation content for YouTube, and another transforming this concept into a mobile app akin to leading meditation platforms – this session is both an inspirational and technical deep dive into the practicalities and possibilities of AI in app development.

Join us for a session that not only enlightens but also inspires, demonstrating how a single developer can leverage AI to not just iterate faster, but to also imaginatively redefine the boundaries of what's possible in app development. Prepare to be provoked, and above all, propelled into a future where your development skills are augmented by the limitless potential of AI.
