A Content Creation Assistant

The time has come for a little presentation.

After regular work, I tried to merge some tools which can help me to work on this blog.

I took a month to have this version; it’s not much – first of all, I started from very different project, with somewhat different concepts.

I have made also some technology switching through that journey:

• Started with SpringAI, switched to Langchain4J
• Started with OpenAI and moved to Ollama
• First images were generated from Python code, then I switched to ComfyUI, and as a last addition, I have added DrawThings

My prior experience with AI was limited – I had just used ChatGPT, sent a few API calls, made a simple RAG.

Now I think I’m ready to make more progress into the AI world because I see the potential in helpful assistants.

I have to make a confession also – it’s my first side project, that I can tell it’s finished; it does what I wanted it to do. Of course, I could add more features, but most of them I won’t ever need (one more thing which is on my task list and I think is important is Facebook post sending).

Everything was done by me, even the minimalistic layout. It could be better, the frontend code could be better! But I work on frontend only a few days a year, fortunately the chats like Claude or OpenAI help here a lot, but as in backend I understand that a good frontend developer can’t be replaced with just AI. The amount of problems I get in Vue code because keeping chat context is enormous. Most problematic is switching back and forth from one programming style to another, sometimes without informing the user. Frontend Juniors (as I see myself) need to be very careful.

What problems I can potentially want to solve:

• My ollama setup isn’t good enough for most prompts, and OpenAI beats it unfortunately, even in English; not to mention my native language.
• Using DrawThings is good on my Mac, but if I ever want to release this project, then I will have to use ComfyUI or a SaaS.
• There’s no user area, but already it can use multiple sites – it’s kind of a desktop application.
• GraalVM took me a few hours to build a native image, and I have failed. I guess I have too new SpringBoot / Hibernate setup in the project. I had very similar libs in 2.7.x and had less problems with missing constructors on interfaces/beans, or bytecode provider; to be honest, I just don’t have time right now to fight with that.

I hope this project will be heavily used by me, probably improved over time. Things learned on developing should be used in my next projects, and maybe current or next works.
