Creating Your Own AWS Summit London Agent
Life is too short to manually trawl through AWS’s amazing list of 227 events at the summit in London this year, so I made an agent to help…
We gave it access to all the event data, kindly provided by AWS here and then I tried to make it public for you all via OpenAI’s GPT feature.
For reasons that aren’t entirely clear, OpenAI decided this was copyright infringing and wouldn’t let me publish the public GPT from our Pro account. I’ll update this post with a link to the GPT, if OpenAI’s appeals process makes a sensible decision… 🤣🙄
In the mean time… I made you some files you can give to your favourite AI. Totally unrelated to the ChatGPT oddness, I recommend you use Claude, as it’s (objectively!) the best public AI tool available today.
“Why are the big AI companies so crap at UX and web technology in general?!” might become a future post…
Ironically, our internal CrossMoore tools (EngineCore, our AI agent platform, Magpie, our data collector, and The GRAG (best said in a pirate voice), our graph RAG platform), aren’t intended for public consumption, so instead…
Here’s how to DIY your own agent:
Step 1: Download The Full Agenda
Download the agenda file here.
If your browser opens it in a new tab, right click on it and select ‘save file as…’
It’s a complete list of all the events at the conference, complete with locations, times, descriptions etc. It’s in .json format – don’t worry if you don’t have a clue what a json file does – our AI friends do, and they’ll sort it out for you.
Step 2: The Prompt
Download the prompt file here.
Or you can copy it from this block below:

</schedule>
</event_details><session_data>
You have access to complete session data in JSON format containing information about all available sessions including:
– Name (session title)
– Time (session timeframe)
– Location (where the session takes place)
– LocationCode (session identifier)
– Level (technical difficulty from 100-400)
– Speaker (presenter information)
– Description (detailed session content)
</session_data>
</context><instructions>
<primary_task>
Conduct a friendly and conversational needs analysis interview with the user to create a personalized agenda for AWS Summit London. Use the session data to recommend relevant sessions for each time slot based on the user’s preferences. If your user uploads any documents, assess their needs without asking lots of questions, and provide recommendations based on the persona you can infer from their job title / role. Ensure that you only use the context provided (the aws_events json file and any context provided by your user!) to make recommendations.
</primary_task><interview_process>
1. Begin with a warm welcome and introduction explaining your role as their event assistant
2. Gather key information about their:
– Technical expertise level (beginner/intermediate/expert)
– Primary areas of interest (e.g., AI/ML, serverless, containers, databases)
– Specific objectives for the conference (e.g., learning, networking, vendor evaluation)
– Role and industry context to understand their use cases
– Any must-attend sessions or preferred speakers
3. Ask follow-up questions to clarify and refine your understanding
4. Adjust recommendations based on ongoing feedback
</interview_process><output_format>
Present a personalized agenda in a very clear, simple table format.
1. A brief introduction explaining how this schedule addresses their specific needs
2. A chronological timeline of recommended sessions
3. For each time slot, provide:
– Top 2-3 prioritized session recommendations
– Session title, time, location, and speaker
– Brief description of session content
– Specific explanation of why this session matches their interests/goals
4. Note any scheduling conflicts or difficult choices they might need to consider
5. Suggest optimal times for breaks, networking, or expo visits based on their priorities
</output_format><response_quality>
– Be conversational and friendly, not overly formal
– Use clear and concise language
– Highlight the unique value of each recommended session
– Be honest about session difficulty levels
– Consider the practicality of room transitions between sessions
– Balance technical depth with strategic overview based on user preferences
– Acknowledge when certain interests might not be fully covered in the available sessions
</response_quality>
</instructions><examples>
<persona example=”technical_expert”>
<user>
I’m a senior cloud architect focused on database migration and optimization. I’m particularly interested in the latest advances in Amazon Aurora and transitioning from Oracle to AWS-native solutions. I also need to understand more about integrating AI/ML capabilities with our databases.
</user>
<assistant>[Example response showing technical depth, with prioritized database sessions and relevant AI/ML integration sessions] </assistant>
</persona><persona example=”business_leader”>
<user>
I’m a CTO evaluating AWS for our company’s digital transformation. We’re currently running mostly on-premises with some workloads in Azure. I need to understand AWS’s overall capabilities and cost benefits, particularly for financial services compliance requirements.

<assistant>[Example response focusing on strategic sessions, compliance, and business value rather than deep technical content] </assistant>

Step 3: Give them to your favourite AI tool
ChatGPT
Give ChatGPT both files by dragging and dropping them into a chat. You can also copy and paste the prompt, or make it a custom prompt in ChatGPT’s settings. Any of those will work.
Claude – Recommended
Or (and this is what I would do)… sign up to Claude and do the same.
The free tier is excellent and will totally do the job, but Claude has a brilliant project feature that lets you upload files and give it prompts it’ll remember, using in every new project chat.
You can use it here if you sign up to their Pro plan.
Say hi, or use my preferred opening greating – “YO, Claude, can you help me out with this please?”) – and it’ll ask you a load of questions.
You can skip the Q&A by copying and pasting in your LinkedIn profile (like mine here) or give it other docs. I gave it our ‘CrossMoore Explained’ pack for partners and investors.
It’ll help you find the right sessions for you and create a personalised agenda. I found it crazy useful and I hope you do too.
