Discover the Full Agenda and Theme of AI Agents at Chatbot Conference 2024!

Welcome to the Chatbot Conference 2024!

We’re thrilled to announce this years agenda and theme.

As you may know, the Chatbot Conference 2024, is taking place from September 24th to 26th in the vibrant city of San Francisco!

Now, let’s jump into our theme….

What is this year’s theme?

Every year, the Chatbot Conference sets a theme. This is our way of organizing the information and seeing what direction it is pointing in.

As a result, we have always been ahead of the curve. We first covered ChatGPT, NLG, and OpenAI in 2019.

In 2022, we hosted an entire conference in the Metaverse, where AI assistants introduced attendees to each other based on their NFTs.

This year, we’re diving deep into the world of AI agents — LLMs that do more than just answer questions; they take action!

Now let’s look at our Featured Speakers and their unique perspective.

“I was at the original Chatbot Conference in San Francisco in 2017 and … it’s very exciting to actually have a roadmap of where we are and where we are going.”

Henry Hu, AI Public Speaker, Dashbot

“I am a fan of this Conference in particular because they bring practitioners together so you can connect with them and learn from them.”

Alex Weidauer, Co-Founder Rasa

On days 2 & 3, we will apply what we learned from the Conference in our full-day workshops.

You will design, build, and launch an AI agent in 48 hours!

Here is the plan.

Day 2 Certified Workshop: Conversational UX

Day 2 is about design and design thinking!

In the same way, a great chef understands how to work with ‘salt, acid, fat, and heat’. Our goal is to give you the foundational ingredients for building AI Agents.

Once you understand the role of CUX, NLU, Prompt Engineering, LLMs, and RAG, you will have a strong foundation on which to design and build powerful agents.

This deeper understanding is what we are really after.

  • 9:00 AM: What is Conversation Design
  • 9:30 AM: The New Conversation Design Stack
  • 10:00 AM: Conversation UX Principles
  • 11:00 AM: Psychology, Flow, Personality, Information
  • 12:00 PM: Lunch Break
  • 1:00 PM: Designing Flows: Intents & Entities
  • 2:00 PM: Knowledge Bases: Hierarchies, Ontologies, Taxonomy & Semantics
  • 3:00 PM: Prompt Engineering & Tuning: Prompt Chaining, Personality

We learn by doing, and by the end of Day 2, you should have your AI agent designed and ready to go.

Day 3 Certified Workshop: AI & LLM Development

On Day 3, we bring your designs to life and launch your AI Agent.

  • 9:00 AM: Lay of the Land
  • 9:30 AM: Setting up Your Account
  • 10:00 AM: Creating Your First Intent Using NLU
  • 11:00 AM: Second Intent & Fallback Intents
  • 12:00 PM: Lunch Break
  • 1:00 PM: Connect Your Bot to a Knowledge Base
  • 2:30 PM: Prompt Engineering & Persona Set Up
  • 4:00 PM: Going Live

The real beginning of your journey starts after you launch your AI agent. After launch, the project will gather data and user feedback; through this, you can integrate and improve your AI Agent. This process is where the majority of your work will be.

Yi Zhang, Co-Founder at Rul AI
