My Tech Week Update #2

Hello again!

This week, I designed a website platform for my AI-powered fighting game coach. It was my first time integrating AI into a website, which was both exciting and challenging. My biggest struggle was connecting the frontend of the website with Langflow. Although I had set up the API connection, I couldn't parse the AI's responses correctly.

What helped me overcome this issue was a live-streaming session by the Langflow team. It not only helped me fix the bug but also sparked new ideas for my project. You can watch the session here.

Additionally, I learned how to embed videos from DeepLearning.AI. Multimodal embeddings are an interesting topic and could be beneficial for my project.

I'm excited to continue learning and improving my project, with the goal of turning it into a full-fledged product.

Tech Week 1 Update

Hi everyone! This past Tech Week, I had the chance to attend several events. While I started off feeling anxious about diving into unfamiliar topics, I ended up having a great time learning about AI agents and generative AI through tech talks and a hackathon.

Here's what I learned:

  • One of the biggest challenges I faced was understanding AI agents, since I didn't have much experience with them.
  • To get started, I began working on the AI certification course from Hugging Face to refresh the basics.
  • My first big step was joining the "Hacking Agents Hackathon NYC," which introduced me to powerful tools like Langflow and Twelve Labs. I plan to keep using these to develop my project: an AI Fighting Game Coach.

As a bonus, I also created kentalange.com using Claude for the first time. It was a great opportunity to see how modern LLMs can streamline workflows and boost results.

I'm excited to use the knowledge I gained this week. Tech is moving faster than I can learn at school and in some jobs, so I'm going to keep grinding this summer to pull myself up to speed.
