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:
