? LLMs can’t optimize schedules, but AI can!
? Live online session by Virtual Java User Group (vJUG)

? The GenAI hype train is moving fast! Don’t miss this insightful session with Tom Cools – DevRel at Timefold, Java Champion, and BeJUG organizer. Alongside host Ixchel Ruiz, this talk explores where LLMs fall short and how classical AI fills the gap.

▪ 10:00 AM (PT) | 6:00 PM (GMT) – Live stream begins
▪ 10:10 AM (PT) | 6:10 PM (GMT) – Talk by Tom & Ixchel

? Location: YouTube Live

? What’s the talk about?
Large Language Models are powerful but can’t handle tasks like scheduling 30 employees or routing 100 deliveries. That’s where classical AI shines. We’ll introduce Timefold, an open-source constraint solver that makes scheduling as simple as annotating your domain classes and defining constraints – no complex math needed.

? Key takeaways:
 ✅ What Timefold is and how it works
 ✅ How to create hybrid AI systems combining LLMs and classic optimization
 ✅ Real-world demos and applications
