Conference talks I have given about Ruby, Rails and building AI-shaped things without leaving the ecosystem. Recordings are linked where available.
Accidentally building a neural network: A Ruby product recommendation journey
Machine learning often feels like a black box reserved for Python data scientists.

This talk deconstructs a real-world recommendation engine that processes thousands of orders per week, and shows that you do not need heavy external services to solve AI problems. You need Ruby.
