The session
She came with the idea already working. A voice agent rings an elderly person, has a short conversation, and if something is wrong it calls and texts the family. A retirement village she knows wanted it narrower: one call every morning to each resident, to check they are all right.
We did not touch the calls. We built what they run on: her own folders, her own accounts, a store for her keys, and a website. By the end there were four projects on GitHub, and a course page that explains what was done and why.
The voice agent is the next session.
What did Ildiko build? What Ildiko said afterwards
Very helpful and friendly experience. The session helped me a lot to get started and set up the techy bits.
Highly recommended!
