Welcome and event introduction

DocRouter.AI as a drag-and-drop AI document processing tool by Andrei Radulescu-Banu

This is a hands-on demo of DocRouter.AI as a drag-and-drop AI document processing tool. At the Sundai MIT hackathon the previous week, I worked with Della Ando to develop a flow that grades 5th grade quizzes against a configured rubric. DocRouter implements the back end, with the teacher-in-the-loop able to correct the evaluations. A front-end UI can be attached, specialized to this application - the DocRouter being the tech stack accelerator, just managing prompts and evaluations, and hiding the complexity of LLM workflows. This paradigm, of quickly developing a UI front end, is made easier by vibe coding tools like Manus, Bolt AI, Cursor, and Windsurf. We also discuss Model Context Protocol (MCP), and how it transforms the way we integrate software. And we show how Claude Desktop integrates, with MCP, with the DocRouter, for optimization and business intelligence applications.

How an LLM sees your app

Let's dive in to function calling! I'll show you what the Fulcra app looks like to human eyes, then what the Fulcra API looks like to a human developer, then what the API looks like to an LLM. Then we'll teach ChatGPT how to use the API, without leaving ChatGPT.com!
