Little Automations
Little Automations is Automate and Tell #1, a free Belfast show-and-tell for practical scripts, workflows, home projects and other small automations.
What to expect
Small projects you can understand, ask about and try for yourself.
Scripts, workflows, integrations, sensors and home projects are all fair game. You do not need to present anything to attend, and a project does not need AI to belong here.
Pizza and drinks will be provided, including vegetarian pizza, soft drinks, cordial and some alcoholic drinks.
