[UK Smalltalk]

1. *SemanticText: Improving Exploratory Programming in Squeak with
Generative AI*

Presenter: *Christoph Thiede *(starts at 7.15pm)


>From autocomplete to conversational agents, AI is transforming how we
interact with code. Christoph will introduce SemanticText, a framework that
integrates large language models (LLMs) into Squeak/Smalltalk, enabling
conversational agents, semantic search tools, and retrieval-augmented
generation workflows. He will showcase experimental integrations with
Squeak’s tools and present the concept of a semantic exploratory
programming system for debugging and exploring systems using natural
language.


Bio: Christoph Thiede is a member of *HPI*’s Software Architecture Group
and a core developer of Squeak/Smalltalk, with a focus on enhancing
developer productivity and tools.


2. *Webside*: A Unified HTTP API for Smalltalk

Presenter: *Guillermo Amaral* (starts at 8.30pm)


Guillermo will discuss Webside, an API that standardizes communication with
Smalltalk systems via HTTP and introduces its application as a fully
operational IDE. He will highlight recent improvements in its extensibility
and functionality.


Bio: Guillermo Amaral is the creator of Webside and has been a passionate
Smalltalk user and advocate for over 20 years, leveraging it throughout his
academic and professional journey.


Don’t miss this opportunity to explore groundbreaking ideas and engage in
discussions on the future of Smalltalk development!
