As a developer, I often attend conferences to learn new skills and network with other professionals. However, conferences can be overwhelming, especially when they offer dozens of sessions on different topics. How can I decide which ones are worth my time and attention? That's why I decided to use OpenAI to create a tool that can help me find the most relevant sessions for my interests. I used the session abstracts of a conference as input and converted them into embeddings using OpenAI's natural language processing capabilities. Then, I used vector search to compare the embeddings with a query topic and rank the sessions by similarity. This way, I can quickly and easily discover the sessions that match my goals and preferences, without having to read all the abstracts manually. I built this tool in a couple of hours during the weekend, using simple, scalable, and fast technologies. Here's how I did it. I hope you'll find it useful. The Architecture The entire solution...

You need a specific update on a work item in Azure DevOps. Typically, you'd open your browser, search for the item, copy the link, return to the chat, and share it. Then you'd write a message to ask for the update. Your teammate, perhaps out walking her dog, clicks the link. Her mobile browser opens, but she...
