This workshop is for coders and researchers interested in using AI tools to become more efficient in their current work and tasks outside their area of expertise.  After a brief overview of LLMs, we will discuss general tips for coding using AI.  Next, we will work with an example coding task that processes data using a public API to explore various AI coding tools, including: 

• A chatbot interface via Stanford AI Playground, e.g. like ChatGPT or Claude
• GitHub Copilot integrated into a code editor
• A command line interface (cli) via Gemini CLI

Please register to attend. Registration is exclusively open to current Stanford Affiliates and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Given the limited space, a waitlist will be available once all spots are filled. (Please cancel your registration if you can’t make it.)
