2024 Recap + 25% Discount On The Next Beers & Bots!

Looking back

This list of past events is a good start to look back at 2024. I hosted two amazing #BeersAndBots events in Amsterdam and re-instated the "Bits & Bots" virtual networking events in September.

Besides hosting events I also invested quite some time in partnerships between several great organisations and the Botrepreneurs platform/community.

I signed a partnership with the amazing team Dashbot, one of the most advanced Conversational AI Intelligence software companies out there.

Also, I strengthed existing partnerships with the Conversation Design Institute (get 25% discount with this coupon: 25pctOff) and with my friends from the Chatbot Summit (click for a discount on their upcoming conference in Berlin!).

More automation (sorry/not sorry??)

Last year I started using Dripify, and sent out almost 5K connection requests and 12.5K messages automatically with the platform.

LinkedIn is a numbers game and like I said in my speech during the last Beers & Bots: sorry for all the messages but also thanks for converting (semi) automatically into paying customers! ?? Also, sorry for not getting back to some of you yet, I built up quite a back log as you can inmagine ??

Getting a group of like minded people in the same (virtual) room at the same time takes a ton of time & energy, so I am already thinking about how I can work smarter this year (but I will also work harder??).

WhatsApp community

The Botrepreneurs community on WhatsApp grew to 200+ members and is becoming a got-to place for people to ask advice, share knowledge & jobs, and have some occasional small talk. More info below.

Looking ahead

What has 2025 in store? I will continue empowering the #ConversationalAI and?#GenAI?community with networking events with the help of Cynthia Leimbach ??Also, I will start hosting live interviews again here on LinkedIn (comment or send me a DM if you'd like to be a guest).

• Bits & Bots XV on January 31st, TGIF edition
• Live interview on LinkedIn with AudioCodes (mid-March, to be announced soon)
• Beers & Bots VI in Amsterdam on April 17th (first sponsor: AudioCodes!)

Projects

On a more personal note I can say I started a partime freelance assignment last week. I will be helping out askRobin to make their 100% LLM based bots for the leisure industry even more great!

This means I still have hours available for other projects, and I'm also interested in permanent jobs btw.

In the WhatsApp community, with currently 200+ members from around the globe, we're having some great discussions in these channels:

1. General (for introductions and general chat)
2. Conversation Design (including NLU)
3. LLMs / RAG / Knowledge Graphs
4. AI Implementations (non conversational)
5. Prompt Engineering
6. GenAI tools
7. Voice
8. Jobs
9. Test my bot!
10. Events & conferences
11. Use case/business/startup brainstorming
12. Online courses / Workshops
13. AI Agents
14. "Small Talk Bar"
