Claude AI is really good at coding. In one shot, I asked it to create streamlit app that I can use to chat to my PDFs with a local, offline, large language model. The first attempt had a roughly working version and with just 2 more follow-on prompts and refinement, I had a fully working RAG application on my machine that doesn’t need the internet. It’s slow but works.
It’s insane how rapidly you can prototype software applications ideas with the help of LLMs, especially if you’re not a professional software developer.
Below is the prompt I gave to Claude.
And here’s the working streamlit app.
