Heya! I’m a bit new to Julia, so, i’ve been studying the language for a couple of days, i already know some of the syntax, i’ve learned various types of data structures and I’m going to learn algorithms by implementing them in Julia, but my goal, is learn how to make AI Assistants with Julia, so, i was asking:

What do i need to learn before i start learning how to make AI Assistants with Julia?

Hi!  
Welcome to the community.  
Always great to hear when people try out julia.

Others will chime in, but my suggestion to start well with julia is to have a good workflow. Maybe you know it already but we have now a great resource:  
[https://modernjuliaworkflows.github.io/](https://modernjuliaworkflows.github.io/)

It takes you from the very basics to quite advanced material.

Don’t hesitate to post here. Always best to ask specific questions. Here is another resource on how ask questions so people can help you better.

Have fun

Please read: [Working with Julia projects | Julia programming notes](https://ufechner7.github.io/2022/08/16/julia-projects.html)

This is not about AI assistants, just about the basics.

> Generative AI and Julia, A Perfect Combination. Don’t you think? Generative AI is moving at the speed of light and it speaks Python. In my opinion, Julia is awesome. Wouldn’t it be a shame to miss out on the GenAI revolution? However, there are very few GenAI projects in Julia, making it even harder to find them. To address the issue, we have created a list “[Generative AI meets Julia](https://github.com/svilupp/awesome-generative-ai-meets-julia-language)” (following the template of Awesome Lists).
