DevKick 004: Decisions, Decisions · Build with Kev (Jev) and Devin

​Decisions, Decisions.

​Most of what software does all day is make small calls. Is this spam? Is this customer about to churn? Which of these three is the right answer?

​DevKick 004 is a build night for exactly that.

​Food, drinks, and a $200 Devin for each attendee to build with.

​You'll build with Kev, the open-source decision model family from Jared Palmer, Cognition's VP of Engineering. Kev doesn't write paragraphs. You give it a document and a typed question (yes or no, pick one, score it), and it gives you back probabilities. Use Devin to build the app and Kev to make the call.

​Ship something where a model makes one real decision. Then show us what happens when it's wrong.

​The night [6:00] Doors, food, set up [6:30] Five-minute intro to Kev, and your endpoint key [6:40] Build [8:30] Six demos, picked from the room [9:15] Badges and wrap

​What to bring A laptop. Apple Silicon can run Kev-4B locally. Everyone else gets a key to a hosted endpoint. Devin credits are provided.

​Who it's for Builders. Students, new grads, and engineers who'd rather ship than watch slides. No experience with Kev needed. Nobody has any, it's new.

​House rules Free. Demo or it didn't happen.

​Capped at 60 builders, so RSVPs are approved. If you can't make it, release your spot.
