The app also allows users to scan each other's badges to keep in touch after the conference, providing a personalized profile and talking points for any scanned badge. The author suggests that this app could be a useful tool for attendees to remember who they talked to and what about, especially after meeting dozens of people at a conference. The plan is to eventually open-source the app for use at other conferences.
Key takeaways:
- An app has been developed to help conference attendees find matches based on their interests and needs, providing personalized talking points to spark conversations.
- The app uses a 'pgvector' store and vector similarity search to find potential matches based on the user's profile and responses to key questions.
- Users can scan each other's badges to stay in touch after the conference, adding notes and classifying the person based on their interests.
- The plan is to eventually open source the app and make it available for other conferences.
