My Session is about:

Building and hosting a large-scale in-house AI development assistant

During the spring (i.e. in medieval times, on the AI timescale) we developed a set of solutions for evolving existing tools and way of working for developers, testers, architects and troubleshooters in a large global product development organization with the goal of improving quality and productivity. Preventing information leaks both internally and externally was of key importance, so the solution had to be built on self-hosting open-source LLMs and also provide means of controlling which information was made available through the AI tools. In this session we present our experiences and findings working on this exciting project.
