Making Angular Apps Smarter with Generative AI: Local and Offline-capable (Hands-on)

Generative AI is on everyone’s lips: Adobe Photoshop allows objects in images to be exchanged by simply entering a prompt, and Microsoft Copilot has come to Office and Windows. With WebLLM and WebSD, we can now bring Generative AI to your Angular app: entirely local and offline-capable. We generate images from text input and add a chatbot to a to-do application. If you want to code along, please bring a powerful device with Windows or macOS, a current version of Chrome, Node.js, an editor of your choice, and at least 10 GB of free hard disk space. Ideally, this should be your private device, as group policies or company proxies may cause issues.
