To see all meetups in this group: https://www.meetup.com/pro/ibm-community/
This is an IBM sponsored Meetup group geared towards developers, data scientists, data engineers, and ALL Big Data, Cloud and AI enthusiasts. Our meetups provide an opportunity to work hands on with the solutions and tools in our Big Data portfolio and to interact and share knowledge with experts at IBM and in our extended community.Our Meetups typically include a 45-60 minute presentation that serves as an introduction and overview for a specific Data or Cognitive topic, as well as other topics that the community is interested in. It is followed by a possible demonstration or networking with fellow developers to collaborate on applying your data skills. Depending upon the location, we can provide a cloud environment with the technologies needed, that you can use from your laptop at NO cost to you. Our meetups are FREE.
Meetup topics include (but are not limited to):
- Cognitive Solutions
- Artificial Intelligence
- Data Science
- Machine Learning
- Cloud Technologies
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Data Visualization
- Java development
- Open Source Technologies: Apache Spark, Apache Hadoop, Python, R and others
- Data-centric Application Development
- Open Source Hadoop, SQL on Hadoop, R on Hadoop, Integration, Governance, ...
- Real Time Analytics & Stream Computing

Abstract
Imagine being able to ask questions about a website in natural language—and receiving meaningful answers instead of simple keyword matches. In this talk, I’ll introduce Allycat, an open-source, end-to-end stack that enables conversational interaction with website content using Large Language Models (LLMs).We’ll walk through the complete pipeline:
- Crawling and indexing website content
- Cleaning and extracting meaningful information from HTML
- Creating embeddings and storing them in a vector database
- Querying the data using an LLM for contextual, accurate responses
We’ll also demonstrate Allycat’s lightweight UI that allows users to interactively test their queries. The entire stack is built with Python and open-source components, making it easy to adopt, adapt, and extend.
