Bucking the trend: Building AI tools in TS

[mattzcarey]

This is a story about how we built some of the tooling for Quivr - the open source virtual brain.

Quivr was the number one trending project on GitHub last week and in 2 months has amassed a crazy 18k stars.

As with most LLM powered projects the original creators chose to write the server code in Python.

This talk is about why we wrote tooling for Quivr in TS and how TS devs can adapt, improvise and overcome in a Python world.

I hope you will let me speak at one of your events :)

Hey @mattzcarey - sorry we've been offline for a few months - getting back to the talk proposals.

I'd love to hear more about how node.js developers can leverage these kinds of platforms - and maybe an interesting angle here on the various appropriate language choices between python/js/ts?

Sounds like there must be some good reasons you chose ts to write your tooling.

We don't have specific dates set yet - but expecting to have a meetup in late october and late november - are you around and available for either of those periods?

[mattzcarey]

Hey, still super keen to talk. I will be out of the country from early October till end of December. Might be better to delay until January.

[admataz]

Ok - I'm going to tag it for January - we can confirm closer to the time

If you're around later this month - please join us at our september meetup - talk schedule is full already - but would be great to meet you

Great thanks!
