From AI Hype to Reality: Meet your new intern

In this session, we continue the conversation started at BADCamp 2024, focusing on the practical use of AI tools in the CMS ecosystem. Specifically, we'll explore two key use cases: accelerating the development cycle for porting modules and writing tests. While other potential applications — such as documentation, content generation, project management, and image processing — are important, we  reserve those for other sessions.

In 2024 I wanted to port module Config Direct Save that gives site-builders full power of configuration management via UI. I posted message in User Group meeting.  The result? In just 44 minutes,  Justin Keiser successfully ported  the module and released for community testing. Watching this profoundly shaped how I view LLM-driven coding practices.

Our Approach: Think of LLMs as interns, not mentors. They’re capable and resourceful but require guidance and supervision to be effective.

By the end of this session, you'll gain a clear understanding of how to train your LLM to tackle coding tasks and see a live example of creating code for a real module.
