We got a visit from the AI guy - read all about what he had to say! Last week, our team at Google for Startups Israel had the privilege of hosting Google Cloud’s Founder Story event at our campus. Among the panels during the event we had a standout session with Ruben Hassid, a leading voice in AI, who offered a bunch of great insights. Ruben's journey into AI, started way before the AI craze, in December 2022. He has been an example of the power of early adoption and the revolutionary shifts AI can bring to our lives. I think some of Ruben’s golden tips and insights will be  very beneficial for our founder community: • Avoid “zero shot prompting” - throwing your prompt on the model and expecting to get results. Instead, use “chain-of-thought” prompting - show the model a few examples where the step-by-step reasoning is clearly laid out. • Build, iterate and learn: You can generate many variants for any marketing motion, test them on a large scale, and quickly double down on the marketing motion that has been proven to work. • Speak to the AI as if it were a person - it will make you a better prompter and generate better results. • Be curious, it will pay off: Ruben’s obsessive interest in AI early on made him an expert before most people knew what AI even was. By embracing emerging technologies early on, you can pave your way for groundbreaking professional opportunities. • Build your personal brand: The authentic engagement of founders with their audience through social media amplifies the unmatched value they add to their brands. This makes personal branding a must-have in any marketing strategy. In a memorable moment, Ruben and I posed for a photo on our Google for Startups famous photography bench :). Ruben, it was great to have you! Kudos to the amazing Google Cloud team for this event, and huge thank you to everyone who shared their knowledge and insights at the event! #GoogleForStartups #GenerativeAI #AIInsights #TechInnovation #IsraeliTech Elit Ben Basat Nuriel Yael Warman Maya Meiri Tal Janina Lax

👨🚀 Exploring Responsible AI: My Visit to Google DevFest NYC Today I attended DevFest NYC: Responsible AI for the Future of Tech at Google Pier 57, and what an incredible experience it was! The event brought together tech enthusiasts, industry leaders, and visionaries to discuss how we can shape a responsible AI-driven future. Here's a glimpse into this unforgettable gathering. 🛑 What Made DevFest NYC 2024 Stand Out? The event was packed with inspiring keynotes, hands-on workshops, and engaging panel discussions. Some highlights: 🎤 Keynotes on Responsible AI: I was particularly inspired by Peta-Gay Clarke's keynote on the ethical considerations of AI and Diana Agu's exploration of AI-powered transformations in healthcare. 💻 Workshops on Cutting-Edge Tools: Sessions like building with FlutterFlow and optimizing Core Web Vitals with speculation rules. These were perfect for sharpening skills and staying updated. 🌏 AI and Career Insights: Panels like Community Building in the Time of AI and workshops on AI-powered applications demonstrated how tech impacts industries and careers. Fun Beyond the Sessions 💃 🕺 The day wasn’t just about tech—there were Zumba sessions, interactive booths by Google Chrome, JP Morgan, FlutterFlow, and more. Connecting with 50 Googlers and industry experts made it even more special. 🤖 Why Responsible AI Matters This year’s focus on Responsible AI was both timely and necessary. With rapid advancements, understanding the ethical and societal implications of AI is critical. Every session reinforced the idea that tech should empower and include everyone, a vision I deeply resonate with. ♻ I’m excited to apply what I learned and contribute to building a tech future that’s inclusive, responsible, and innovative. 💠 If you ever get the chance to attend a DevFest, I highly recommend it. Let’s connect and exchange ideas about responsible AI and the evolving tech landscape! #DevFestNYC #ResponsibleAI #InnovationForGood #Google #AI #TechForEveryone

As of last week Build Club has onboarded over 1000 AI engineers into our community🎊 It’s been a wild ride over the past couple months 🎢 and it’s crazy to think that the small budding community I had joined a little while ago now has active members in over 6 countries around the world 🌍 Thank you to the brilliant city leads that volunteer their precious time to nurturing this special community and making this possible. It hasn’t always been smooth sailing and helping build this community has come with its own important learnings. ✏️Learnings - Building a community takes time: a valuable community can only be built on the trust and receptiveness that the community builders show time and time again - Highlight the wins: when community members and others see that a community is proud to have them be apart of it, this creates a culture of giving back within it - Provide opportunities to add value: knowing that our vetted members are all experts in their own right, programs like ‘bounties’ is a source of social proof for the quality of the community And some highlights along the way too, ⭐️Highlights - Presenting a mini quiz for 200+ people at our Demo Day - Supporting our the accelerator program - Meeting amazing AI builders weekly Congratulations to Annie Liao 🇦🇺 for leading such an incredible community to help tinkerers everywhere find likeminded people building in AI. If you’re a builder or you know someone building in AI comment or tag your builder friends below and we’ll invite you to our Build Club slack community! We have a lot more in store over the next few months, so stay tuned folks 🚀
