TL;DR:
Join GDG Paderborn for an exciting, hands-on workshop where we dive into the future of software development! Learn how to use SWE-Agent, an autonomous AI agent, to solve real-world GitHub issues automatically. Guided by AI expert Ashwin Prasad SV, you will get to configure and run the agent yourself using Google's powerful Gemini API. Start your day with free breakfast and coffee, and end it by networking with fellow tech enthusiasts.

Detailed Description

The world of software engineering is on the verge of a major transformation, powered by autonomous AI agents. Imagine an AI that can understand a bug report, navigate a codebase, write the necessary code to fix it, and submit a pull request - all on its own. This is no longer science fiction; it's the reality of tools like SWE-Agent.

In this interactive session, we will demystify the technology behind these AI agents. We'll explore SWE-Agent, a state-of-the-art system that has achieved top results on SWE-bench, a benchmark for evaluating AI on real-world software engineering tasks.

Our expert speaker, Ashwin Prasad SV, will kick things off with a presentation on the rise of AI in software development. Following that, we'll roll up our sleeves for a hands-on workshop. You will learn how to set up the SWE-Agent environment, connect it to the Gemini API, and deploy it to tackle an actual open-source issue.

This is a unique opportunity to gain practical, hands-on experience with cutting-edge AI technology that is set to redefine the developer workflow.

What You Will Learn:

• Understand the core concepts behind autonomous AI agents in software engineering.

• Learn what SWE-Agent is and how it works.

• Gain hands-on experience setting up a complex AI environment using Docker.

• Configure and run SWE-Agent using a Gemini API key to solve a real programming task.

• Connect with local developers, students, and AI enthusiasts.
