Amazing start to the AWS Community Summit with a fantastic Prompt Engineering session .The Steamhaus team found such a creative way to deliver a morning coffee—what a refreshing start to the day! Also, great connecting with SahulHammeed from CDL Software regarding AI. Incredible session on GenAI using Amazon Bedrock by Kate Gawron Gawron Learned so much about the potential of generative AI and its real-world applications. Excited to see where this technology take us #AWSCommunitySummit #PromptEngineering #Networking #AWSCommunity #GenAI #AWSBedrock #Innovation

Bold move by Chris Dobson who's building a whole "no code" application with a range of AWS services and live on stage at AWS Community Summit . Going very well so far, impressed at what can be done without writing code - still a lot of clever engineering on show though!

Our talks and workshops are packed this afternoon!⚡️ We’re exploring topics like serverless architectures, GenAI, digital transformation and more. What session has been your favourite so far? #ComSum #ComSum2024 #AWSCommunity
