From AI User to AI Builder: Build Your Own AI Assistant

Bring a PDF. Leave with a working AI assistant that answers questions directly from your data. 🤖

You’ve used AI, now come learn how to build with it.

Join Zorentia, CloudBridge, and AWS for an intensive, hands-on masterclass at the AWS Sydney HQ. You won't just listen to another talk, you’ll configure, connect, and deploy a real application on cloud infrastructure.

No prior coding experience required. Beginners, non-technical founders, and curious builders are all welcome.

What You'll Get 🎁

💻 Your Own AI Assistant: Built by you, step-by-step, running on live documents.

☁️ AWS Credits: Hands-on resources to keep experimenting and building after the event.

🧠 System Legibility: Learn how document retrieval (RAG) actually works and how the components connect under the hood.

💰 Cloud Cost Control: An introduction to AWS Cost Explorer so you know how to monitor and manage spending.

🍕 Food & Refreshments: Complimentary food, drinks, and networking.

🤝 Community Access: Connect with fellow founders, engineers, and builders in Sydney.

What We’ll Build 🛠️

An intelligent document assistant that reads your PDFs, retrieves exact passages, and generates accurate answers with cited sources.

What you’ll learn along the way:

How document retrieval systems find the exact context needed.

How to connect AI models to actual cloud architecture.

How to test, configure, and manage your app using AWS services.

Who Should Come? 👋

Founders & Business Owners looking to build custom tools without getting lost in hype.
