𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗙𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 🚨

Next up on our speaker lineup: Elaine Dias Batista 😎

Elaine is a Senior Staff Engineer at SFEIR and a Google Developer Expert, based in Paris. A graduate of INSA Lyon, she brings deep technical expertise to a topic that's on everyone's mind right now: how do we bring AI to our apps without breaking the bank or compromising privacy?

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 ❓

AI and GenAI are reshaping our industry landscape, but cost and privacy concerns can make cloud-based integration a hard sell. Elaine will explore the main solutions for running AI directly on-device, covering vision, audio, and text-based tasks. She'll break down the technical requirements, specialized hardware and software optimization techniques, and walk us through the current limitations, with real examples showing just how powerful local AI can already be.

That's the kind of shift we're exploring in 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗦𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝟰.

The usual AI-in-QA conversation focuses on bug-catching. But this episode goes somewhere more interesting: AI that actually generates tests: from plain text, and even from screen recordings of your test scenarios.

On July 30th, our host Mesut Durukal sits down with Esin Yılmaz and Cemal Yilmaz, co-founders of Text2test, for a conversation that goes way beyond "AI vs QA engineers."

We'll get into:
✔️ 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘵2𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘦𝘹𝘵 (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘰!) 𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘤𝘰𝘥𝘦

This one's less “tool demo”, more “founders being honest about the road that got them here.”
