🤖 What if you could build AI-powered pipelines in plain Ruby?

Join WNB.rb on Oct 27 @ noon Eastern for “Agents on Rails: Building AI Pipelines in plain Ruby” w/ Daniela Velasquez!

No Python. No ML platform. Just Rails, jobs, agents, and feedback loops.

Or could Ruby be the better fit when you want cleaner agent abstractions and faster iteration?
