THIS WEEK’S TOPIC
Every developer knows the power of talking through a problem with a rubber duck—explaining your thinking out loud often reveals gaps and sparks insights. Today, AI is becoming the ultimate rubber duck. In this meetup, we’ll explore how LLMs
are quietly transforming the way we design, review, and operate APIs and graphs.
The meeting focused on AI
, MCP
and LLM
tools, discussing their applications in development, schema optimization
, and code reviews
. Participants explored the potential of LLMs for various tasks, including schema design, API integration
, and automated code generation. The group also discussed upcoming events, community resources, and ways to share prompts and best practices for AI usage within the GraphQL
community.
