Hands-on workshop · for every level

Step by step, you build your own AI chatbot: from nothing to a model that learns from your own examples. It's the clearest way to see how AI actually works. No coding experience needed.

What to expect

Build your own AI chatbot and understand exactly how it works.

You build your own mini AI chatbot and give it a personality of its own by training it on your own examples. That's how you see exactly how a language model learns. We work together, step by step: there's nothing to prepare beforehand, and the group deliberately stays small.

01

Build and use your own AI

During the workshop we train and use your own AI model together, with this app. Clear explanations walk you through exactly how the training method works and what each setting does. You'll get the app during the workshop itself, nothing to install beforehand.

02

Use a high-end model for automation

After the workshop you move on to Chat Genie: a powerful, ready-made AI model that automates tasks on your own PC, just by asking.

Who teaches the workshop

Why I teach this workshop.

Portrait of Thorstin, instructor of Bouw je eigen AI

In my day job I work as a machine learning engineer. I think it's important to show that AI isn't something abstract, but something you can understand and use yourself, whether you're just starting out or simply want to get more comfortable with your PC.

I believe in a good mix of theory and practice: you understand why something works, and you design the model yourself, train it and watch it happen in real time. By the end of the evening you'll have built your own working AI model.

Good to know

Questions before you start.

Will I build a chatbot like ChatGPT?

You build and train your own mini AI chatbot, and you really do chat with it - that's the clearest way to see how AI learns. It's a small model, so don't expect ChatGPT-level performance. Want a chatbot that also handles things on your PC afterwards? You get that with Chat Genie, free to download after the workshop.

Do I need to know how to code already?

No. The workshop is specifically made for people with little or no coding experience.

What should I bring?

A Windows laptop with charger. You'll get the app during the workshop itself, nothing to install beforehand.

What happens if an evening is full?

Each evening has a limited number of spots, which can vary by date. If an evening is full, you're automatically added to the waitlist. You'll see that right after signing up.

Will I get a confirmation?

Yes, by email, with a link you can also use later to cancel your registration yourself. We send a short reminder the day before.

Have a question or comment?

Feel free to email mail@jijkanmeer.nl and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
