Experiments With Gen AI, Knowledge Graphs, Workflows, and Python
The Real Python Podcast
Intro
This chapter explores Python projects that sharpen programming abilities, focusing on generative AI and sentiment analysis. It includes insights on a resume review system and an automated sentiment analysis tool, along with information on travel requirements in the U.S.
Are you looking for some projects where you can practice your Python skills? Would you like to experiment with building a generative AI app or an automated knowledge graph sentiment analysis tool? This week on the show, we speak with Raymond Camden about his journey into Python, his work in developer relations, and the Python projects featured on his blog.
Raymond is a developer evangelist and advocate who works with APIs, AI, and the web. He’s been expanding his developer knowledge by learning Python and documenting his journey through his blog and with the live-streaming show Code Break.
We discuss a couple of his recent Python projects. The first is building a resume review and revision system with generative AI and Flask. The other project uses Diffbot’s knowledge graph and Pipedream’s workflow tools to create an automated sentiment analysis tool.
