We built an AI-powered search engine
We’ve built a search engine that indexes the entire IDX (Indonesian Stock Exchange) and provides real-time, accurate search results for all public companies in Indonesia. This search engine is powered by the latest in generative AI and retrieval-based LLM models, and is designed to help you find any company using a combination of natural language queries, keyword search and caching mechanisms.
Taught by Industry Experts
Companies are racing against time to build better information-retrieval systems that can help them make mission-critical decisions faster and more accurately. Being the technology partner for some of the largest institutions in the region, Supertype is at the forefront of these developments and is excited to be organizing a live, in-person online workshop on leveraging generative AI to build search engines that are intelligent, natural language understanding, and accurate.
Last Updated on December 2024
Tired of outdated tutorials in the fast-moving landscape of AI? Us, too. This workshop is constantly updated in an ongoing Github Repository by the course author, and uses the latest version of all libraries (crucially LangChain and LangGraph). It teaches you all the skills required to build intelligent conversational AI Agents, using the same toolkit that we deploy for our clients at Supertype.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! This workshop is perfectly suited for beginners in programming, data science, and analytics. Your trainers will assume little to no prior knowledge of programming during the code-along, and will guide you through the basics of programming, data analysis, and financial analytics.
Code notebooks, sample datasets, and other resources will be provided to help you follow along even if you are new to programming.
The workshop will be conducted in English, and your trainer is a native English speaker.
However, all our trainers are fluent in Bahasa Indonesia and can provide support in Bahasa Indonesia if needed. We aim to make the workshop accessible to a wide audience, and all post-workshop support will be provided in the language of your choice.
This workshop is designed to be accessible to beginners in finance, investing, or the stock market in general. A passing understanding of financial concepts will be helpful in making the most out of the workshop, but it is not a prerequisite. The tools and resources you need to appreciate the use of data analytics in financial research will be provided during the workshop.
After purchasing a ticket, you will receive a confirmation email from the organizers with more details about the workshop, including the schedule, the meeting link, and other information relating to the workshop. As we approach the workshop date, you will also receive a link to download the workshop materials, including code notebooks and sample datasets should you wish to follow along on your own laptop.
The $7 upgrade to Workshop + Practicum is great value for those who want to go beyond the seminar and get their hands dirty with some programming lessons. Day 2 of the workshop equips you with all the knowledge you need to develop a search engine strategy, and execute on said strategy with a solid roadmap. Bought separately, these would cost you upward of $195 ($58 for two days, $98 for Sectors API credits, $39 for 3 months of Sectors Fellowship).
Additionally, the Workshop + Practicum tier comes bundled with 3,000 API credits to Sectors API, allowing you to develop your financial analytics skills further using real-time financial data from the Indonesian stock market.
