Vibe NLP for Applied NLP - By Ines Montani & Matthew Honnibal | #Py4AI Talks 2026

Vibe NLP for Applied NLP, A Talk By Ines Montani & Matthew Honnibal, Founders of Explosion AI 🧩 Applied NLP’s biggest challenge is translating complex business problems into machine-learning components, a task that traditionally requires deep domain expertise. This talk explores how ideas from AI coding assistants can be applied to NLP, using assistants and MCP servers to help developers build practical, modular, open-source solutions that are small, fast, and fully data-private. The key insight is to use LLMs to build systems rather than be the systems themselves. Just as coding assistants have transformed software development, they can accelerate AI development, reduce expertise barriers, and help teams deliver successful NLP projects. Watch their talk at Py4AI 2026, the international conference where Python and AI enthusiasts connect, learn, and explore the latest advancements in the field! June 13, 2026 | Pavia, Italy
