About Event

Join us for a hands-on evening exploring the intersection of AI and hardware, from coffee sensors to snarky LLMs.

We’ll have live demos(you'll be able to try!) including:

☕ Espresso Telemetry: an espresso machine that logs every shot in real time to Elasticsearch & Kibana. Watch your caffeine habits turn into insightful data visualizations.
🖨️ Bad AI In A Box: a thermal printer powered by an LLM trained to generate objectively terrible advice. Print them. Collect them.

Come tinker with folks also looking to make AI touch grass, or just come for the snacks, good coffee and bad advice you can take home. Either way you should leave with some new ideas on how to bring AI into the physical world.

🚀 This meetup is just the kickoff to Microsoft Ignite
