A more and more common story: You're asked to add AI to a product. Not a chatbot. Not an AI platform. Just one small feature that needed to be smarter. In this talk I'll share practical lessons from shipping a small LLM feature in production: how to keep the architecture simple, how to set guardrails, how to ethically communicate with your values, and how to decide when AI is actually the right tool. This isn't the first time a big technology hype catches up to us and might creep us out at first, and this talk will look at this history, too.

It seems that more and more people use AI to outsource thinking instead of accelerating it. My goal is to show how you can do the latter while learning a foreign language.
