Can LLMs solve scheduling or routing problems? Can GenAI help companies save millions of dollars by optimizing Vehicle Routing, Shift Rostering or Job Scheduling to increase productivity and retention? Why not? Which type of AI can? And how can we combine it with LLMs to make planning optimization more easily accessible? @TCoolsIT and I tried it for #DevoxxFr. Here's what we found out: youtube.com/watch?v=m12AuqnX…

Long overdue! Steve is one of the people who helped me a lot in my career. Congratz!

Timefold hitting the front-page of @newsycombinator 😍. The blog post @GeoffreyDeSmet wrote is probably the best explainer why I switched companies after 11.5 years at my first employer. It's heartfelt, personal and excellent: timefold.ai/blog/how-i-built… #OpenSource #Founder
