Hey Ash, Let’s Chat! - Building Conversational AI with Ash AI - Jinkyou Son | ElixirConf US 2025

This talk was recorded at ElixirConf US 2025. If you’re curious about our upcoming event, check https://elixirconf.com✨
Conversational AI interfaces are rapidly emerging as a core part of modern applications, enhancing user experience through natural, dynamic interactions. Ash, as a powerful declarative framework, is uniquely suited for building such interfaces—so the arrival of Ash AI feels like a natural evolution.

In this session, I’ll share my experience integrating an AI-powered conversational interface into a real-world SaaS product using Ash AI. I’ll briefly introduce key Ash concepts, then show how Ash AI builds on them to streamline the creation of conversational UIs. Through practical examples, we’ll explore how to implement an intelligent chat interface with minimal code, and discuss real considerations when designing and building such systems.

Great talk, thanks for sharing.

Ash actually seems like a pretty natural foundation for this—especially with its declarative approach, where the business logic is already formalized, and AI simply sits on top as another interface layer.
