Watching now

Ash Framework holy crap we did it

Chaz Watkins you got it haha

shahryar tavakkoli hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Chaz Watkins is this stream on twitch too?

Chaz Watkins it looks pretty good. The chat messages are huge though

Theron Boerner How can you allow end users to build customizations of your app

Chaz Watkins it's good now

Chaz Watkins We can see @barnabas

Chaz Watkins no audio

Chaz Watkins from barnabas

shahryar tavakkoli we need to create YouTube with elixir again

shahryar tavakkoli more Zach more projects

ken kost 🔥

Pascal Charbonneau Cant hear him though

Theron Boerner we can hear him

shahryar tavakkoli it's okey

Pascal Charbonneau I just figured how Daniel does so much, he just clones himself pn youtube!

Pascal Charbonneau Its just low

Pascal Charbonneau We can hear but volume is low for him

Theron Boerner repeating my q: How can you allow end users to build customizations of your app

shahryar tavakkoli 🔥🔥

Theron Boerner 🙂

Theron Boerner Yes. Odoo handles this with XML that can modify and insert UI elements in specific locations specified by the XML

shahryar tavakkoli ash admin needs a way let me to create a template:hand-orange-covering-eyes:

Theron Boerner and models that inherit from other models with an ORM

Theron Boerner so you're saying put custom stuff into JSON?

Theron Boerner 💯

ken kost I'm curious about Ash 4.0 - what's the plan behind that?

Theron Boerner That is indeed what Odoo does (modifying the db)

Theron Boerner and it's a mess

Theron Boerner anything in ash that helps with the spaghetti code of live views?

Theron Boerner how do i do that

Theron Boerner deriving views?

Chaz Watkins Should you avoid calling your domain's code interface from within the domains resource actions so you don't run into compilation cycles?

Chaz Watkins Or can you break out those actions into a separate module to avoid the compilation cycle?

Theron Boerner got it

Chaz Watkins yeah, I had a situation like this.

ken kost one more question, I really like ash_ai (shout out!), what could be the end goal of that lib? I know it's sort of a POC currently

Chaz Watkins ObanWorker module was being enqueued in a Resource action, then another action on the same resource would call the code interface that pointed to the oban job enqueue action

Chaz Watkins it resulted in a compilation cycle

Chaz Watkins Avoided the cycle by breaking the action into another module

Chaz Watkins Have you worked with Sean any on AshSwarm? He and I chatted about it a bit

Chaz Watkins I know it's not published yet

Theron Boerner Want to contribute to my project?

Theron Boerner lmao

Chaz Watkins Supposedly it's a AI agent framework

Theron Boerner He needs another project!

Theron Boerner a project a day keeps the Jose away

shahryar tavakkoli 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Chaz Watkins he described it as building purpose trained agents that can work together to do more complex tasks

ken kost you're really on par with Jose Valim in terms of activity. the cloning conspiracy is not that crazy. 😂

Chaz Watkins Yeah, having something lower level that is context aware about your application with the ability to provide some targeted prompts for the task at hand. i.e. simple chat bot

Chaz Watkins I'm so tired of hearing that we need to sprinkle AI into everything. Was already in an hour long meeting this morning talking about random use cases where we can create ai agents to help

Chaz Watkins yes, let the ai help create a boring business lead

Eileen Noonan There *are* use cases for LLMs. I'm working on a web accessibility app and one use case is to send it an image and ask it for an accessible description. Or classify is as a logo or not, etc

Eileen Noonan Or detect if it has text in it

Eileen Noonan However that's not purely LLM, it's multimodal

Eileen Noonan Hi!

ken kost I just want an AI agent that knows Ash better than I do 😢

Chaz Watkins yeah, like something for Ash like Chris McCord has been showing off on X

Chaz Watkins that does Phoenix stuff

Chaz Watkins what is hex2txt?

ken kost awesome, thanks for showing this. What's the program named again? Also which model are you using?

Eileen Noonan LLMs generally suck at elixir

ken kost maybe you didn't feed it enough docs? I'll try it out for sure

Chaz Watkins lol, LLM powered Ash Premium Support

ken kost excited for chris's project :finger-red-number-one:🔥
