LLMs can't optimize schedules, but AI can!
LLMs have made remarkable progress, which might suggest they're the answer to everything. However, when it comes to everyday tasks like creating work schedules they tend to fall short. As a result, humans often end up creating a schedule manually, which is usually far from optimal.Fortunately, there’s a lesser-known branch of AI that excels at complex scheduling. In this talk, we’ll discuss Timefold, a Java based open-source AI solver, and you'll discover how it leverages magic (aka math) to generate optimized schedules.With a series of live demos, you’ll see this form of AI in action and walk away equipped with a powerful new tool for your problem-solving toolbox.
