🎉 I am extremely excited to be joining @TimefoldAI . I was a fan of the Open Source solver for years and to now be able to join them on their journey to free the world from wasteful scheduling is amazing.
Looking forward to supporting and enabling the developer community! <3

2025 is almost wrapped up ❄️🎁, but there’s still time for one last community moment together!
So put on that ugly Christmas sweater 🎄🧦, warm up with a hot drink ☕️, and join us for a final #BeJUG call before we slide into the new year ⛄️✨.

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:

Our Open Source solver now has a dedicated home: solver.timefold.ai
It's a place for the Timefold Solver community,
with everything you need to build a solution
for any planning, scheduling or routing optimization problem.
Is there anything missing that you would like to see on solver.timefold.ai?
