Building local AI apps using Electron and llama.cpp
Thu, Jul 2 · 7:00 PM BST
Runway East Brighton, 50 New England Street, Brighton, GB
On July 2nd we'll be joined by Roger Carvalho - creator of Clipbeam.

In this talk Roger will discuss how to build a cross platform desktop app that can take advantage of AI capabilities without relying on cloud-based APIs.

We'll be taking a look at Clipbeam - a collection of JavaScript and native modules that allow content extraction from webpages, files and audio, auto tagging & categorization of content, RAG with semantic search, and an AI chatbot with voice capabilities that runs entirely on a user’s device.

🍕🍻 Pizza and drinks will be provided thanks to sponsorship from Puck - the open source visual editor for React.

In-person attendees: Please arrive at Runway East (ground floor) between 19:00 and 19:15 for refreshments and socializing. Make sure you are registered to attend so we have an idea of numbers for catering.

Remote attendees: To be confirmed. This event may not be streamed.
