Applying Generative AI in Esri Data Interoperability Workflows
£650.00
This one-day course takes a hands-on approach, with practical application of Generative AI (GenAI) within Esri Data Interoperability workspaces. Building on foundational Data Interoperability Extension skills, you’ll discover how to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) from providers like OpenAI, Anthropic and Gemini to extract, classify, augment, and transform unstructured content into clean, structured data. The training includes practical exercises that help you move beyond manual or rules-based processes to create robust AI-powered workflows.
This course will be delivered by Avineon Tensing a Partner of Esri UK.
