Learn how to build your own AI powered chatbot without writing a line of code at "Data Connect: UK" at Nottingham Trent University.

During this event we will run a hands-on session in which you will get the chance to get familiar with KNIME Analytics Platform v5.1 and you will learn how to use the new KNIME AI Extension (Labs).

You want to join the event but can’t attend onsite? We will stream the first part of the event online and share the exercises with our online audience for self-studying, Register here for the online event.

The nodes contained in the KNIME AI Extension, released with KNIME Analytics Platform v5.1 in July 2023, offer you a framework to build a custom large language model (LLM) chatbot on a custom knowledge base.

You are new to KNIME? We’ve got you covered! We will start with an Introduction to KNIME Analytics Platform v5.1, making it easy to follow along even for newbies!

Without any coding experience you will learn to:

• Create a vector store from a corpus on documents and the attached metadata (the knowledge base).
• Prompt engineer your custom chat model via the OpenAI integration to let AI answer specific questions on the provided documents.
• Build the resulting chatbot data app by adding a user interface to control the KNIME workflow.
• Deploy the data app to make it available to authenticated users on a web browser.

Other KNIME AI integrations we are going to mention are GPT4All, Hugging Face, Chroma, FAISS and more.
Please come prepared and bring your laptop with KNIME Analytics Platform v5.1 and the KNIME AI Extension (Labs) already installed.
Please note if you want to join onsite registration is mandatory.
