In this talk\, we will dive into the reasons behind the development o f LlamaIndex and explore its various basic building blocks/ components. We will discuss the different abstractions within llamaindex - indexes\, ret rievers\, response synthesis\, query engines. We will discuss how they can be used as decoupled components\, or used together as part of a holistic system.\n\nThroughout the talk\, we will showcase the diverse use cases th at can be built using LlamaIndex\, demonstrating its flexibility and appli cability in various domains. We will also delve into intriguing real-world applications that have been developed leveraging the power of LlamaIndex. \n\nBy the end of the session\, participants will gain a comprehensive und erstanding of LlamaIndex\, its fundamental components\, and the potential it holds for enhancing the capabilities of language models. They will leav e inspired and equipped with the knowledge to leverage LlamaIndex to tackl e complex information retrieval and synthesis tasks in their own projects. \n\nStructure of the talk: \n\n1. Introduction to LlamaIndex and its role as a central interface between LLMs and external data.\n2. The motivation behind the development of LlamaIndex and the need for a flexible framework .\n3. Exploring the core components of LlamaIndex: indexes\, retrievers\, response synthesis\, and the query engine.\n4.

If you work in data or analytics engineering\, there is a good chance you've heard of dbt over the last couple of years and may ha ve even considered implementing it to manage the analytics code base at yo ur organisation.\n\nIn this talk\, we will go over some of the lessons I l earnt while implementing dbt and building the analytics engineering functi on at blinkit and Intercom.\n\n## Takeaway for the audience\nThe talk is s tructured around providing 3 key takeaways to the audience. These are:\n\n 1. dbt\, the good parts:\n - Reasons that make implementing dbt to mana ge your analytics code a compelling option.\n2. dbt\, the bad parts:\n - Things that may get in your way while implementing dbt at your organisati on\n3. Change management:\n - How to successfully develop an analytics e ngineering practise in organisations with existing data teams\n \n## Abou t Me\nI am Pragun Bhutani\, and I've been working in the field of data var iously as a Data Engineer\, Analytics Engineer and Data Product Owner sinc e 2015. In this time\, I've worked at Aircall.io in Paris\, at blinkit in India and Intercom in London\, UK and at all of these places I've had the opportunity to set up the data or analytics engineering teams from scratch .\n\nI've worked in both as an individual contributor and a people manager and I equally enjoy both these capacities and their distinct perspectives .\n\nOther than data\, I'm also a full stack developer in love with the se rverless app development ecosystem.
