Navin walks through a brief live demo of a local RAG app and breaks down how text, PDFs, and other audio-video media can be indexed, retrieved, and grounded in your own data. We will discuss some real use cases so you can get business value from AI without always sending data to the cloud.Agenda🕑: 05:30 PM - 05:50 PMConnection🕑: 05:50 PM - 06:00 PMGroup Updates and Need to Knows🕑: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PMThe Bulk of It Info: Examples: Speaker, small groups, panels, real use cases, problem solving. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/pittsburgh/steel-city-ai-innovators-monthly-meetup/100001119887175689 - **Event Categories**: meetups, hackathons, artificial-intelligence, contests, workshops, it, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 - **Event Highlights**: - Age Limit: all_ages - Duration: 2 hours - Location: Pittsburgh Technology Council - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Pittsburgh - **state**: PA - **country**: United States - **location**: Pittsburgh Technology Council - **lat**: 40.451474 - **long**: -80.00530049999999 - **full address**: Pittsburgh Technology Council, 100 South Commons, Pittsburgh, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Steel City AI Innovators Monthly Meetup - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/76aae0c5900289eb5391a1b246f7bc6d98b45c30f237bc19a5f6cc2c77748ac0-rimg-w1200-h672-dc182738-gmir.jpg?v=1769021180 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Steel City AI Innovators Monthly Meetup being held? - **A:** Steel City AI Innovators Monthly Meetup takes place on Mon, 20 Jan, 2025 at 05:30 pm to Wed, 11 Oct, 2028 at 07:30 pm at Pittsburgh Technology Council, 100 South Commons, Pittsburgh, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Steel City AI Innovators Monthly Meetup? - **A:** Steel City AI Innovators Monthly Meetup is organized by Steel City AI Innovators. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Steel City AI Innovators Monthly Meetup", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/76aae0c5900289eb5391a1b246f7bc6d98b45c30f237bc19a5f6cc2c77748ac0-rimg-w1200-h672-dc182738-gmir.jpg?v=1769021180", "startDate": "2025-01-20T17:30:00-05:00", "endDate": "2028-10-11T19:30:00-05:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/pittsburgh/steel-city-ai-innovators-monthly-meetup/100001119887175689", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Pittsburgh Technology Council", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "100 South Commons", "postalCode": "15212", "addressLocality": "Pittsburgh", "addressRegion": "PA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.451474", "longitude": "-80.00530049999999" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Pittsburgh's AI community where beginners & experts build together.
