Event Summary
Chatbots, LLMs, and generative AI (GenAI) tools in general are adding features rapidly. ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, and Claude in particular have become powerful tools capable of teaching, translating, summarizing, analyzing, and even reasoning, and thus increasing professional productivity, simulating creativity, and accelerating innovation. LLMs in 2025 are more than party tricks—these are tools that can change your life if you learn how to use them powerfully. Join us for a meetup to share your expertise, demos, and tips to help others increase their effective usage of LLMs, and learn from others as well. Bring your devices to show how to get the most out of these tools, and queue up for quick demos to the entire meetups from 7:15-7:45 pm. You’ll share, learn, and become a powerful (or, more powerful) LLM user by 8 pm!
