Imagine if you could not only build full stack web applications really quickly. Then picture them being way smarter than the apps you build now. This talk explores how combining Ash Framework's powerful introspection capabilities with GenAI and modern LLMs creates a new possibility in application development – one where applications become intelligent conversational partners rather than static interfaces. Anthropic's new Model Context Protocol is a bidirectional API for LLMs and applications to talk to each other. It's a new standard for interoperation with any LLM or agent. We'll look at the Ash framework for building ambitious applications in Elixir and look at how the Model Context Protocol can give Ash and other apps access to a range of LLM integrations so we can make fundamentally more intelligent and useful applications.
