Unlock the potential of artificial intelligence by creating powerful local scripts with local language models. Move beyond simple AI chats and learn to write scripts that run entirely locally, interact with the file system, and automate complex tasks. This course provides a comprehensive guide to building a flexible command-line tool that understands natural language.

Course Overview

Beginning with an empty TypeScript file, you will explore how to harness the strengths of Ollama, Vercel AI SDK, and Zod. The course will teach you to create a script that is not only functional but also intelligent. You will train the model to interpret ordinary phrases as commands, manage user input dynamically, access project files, and generate context-dependent textual outputs.

Key Learning Objectives

You will gain skills in developing resilient and scalable tools. This includes techniques for handling errors properly, managing unexpected AI responses, and creating an organized modular command structure. Ultimately, you will construct an intelligent layer that enables the script to comprehend user intentions, such as determining the necessary file type for processing.

Course Outcomes

Upon completion of the course, you will have developed your very own local AI assistant and acquired foundational skills necessary to build sophisticated automations on your computer.

Course Curriculum

  • Creating scripts for local language models using Ollama and Vercel AI SDK.
  • Handling dynamic command line input effectively.
  • Utilizing Zod schemas for validation and structuring of model output.
  • Providing file system context with the help of globby.
  • Generating meaningful text based on file content.
  • Implementing strategies to handle errors and incorrect commands.
  • Building a modular architecture with separate files for each command.
  • Equipping the script with the ability to "guess" user intentions and file types.
