In addition to showing you the basics of how APIs work, this session explains how to use several free tools to consume them. The tools will be compared so that you can determine which one would work best for you.

How AI and BI will bring the next generation of business analytics.
If you’ve spent any time online in the last few months, you likely saw the buzz around ChatGPT, a new chatbot developed by OpenAI. Suddenly, the capabilities of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are democratized, their insights and guidance no longer exclusively available for data scientists. While the breadth and depth are unclear, it is certain they will have an impact for years to come. AI/ML will play a pivotal role in providing leaders the information, insight, and recommendations as to how best to optimize and modernize their IT environments. We will show how to take BI a step further with AI capabilities that not only bring an accurate, trusted and complete picture of your business, but forecast what’s coming in the future, predict outcomes and explain why they may happen. Alongside, we will highlight AI/data science project structures and concrete examples how these are implemented in businesses.
