🤖 Ruby + AI Hacking Fest 🤖

--> ❗️ fork this repo in order to participate in the hacking fest.

Welcome to the Ruby + AI Hacking Fest! This online hackathon is a weekend-long event starting on Friday night, May 17th, and concluding on Sunday afternoon, May 19th. The goal is to create a boilerplate Rails application using any existing, publicly available AI model. Participants will integrate the model into their Rails application via API, ensuring it runs seamlessly on a local machine.

• The application must run on a local machine (Mac or Linux).
• Integrate any existing and publicly available AI model with a Rails application.
• Docker is preferable but not mandatory.

Development Rules

• You are allowed to use Hugging Face and their open-source libraries.
• All work must be original and created during the hackathon.
• Usage of pre-built integrations for Ruby and Rails, like Ollama, is prohibited.

Submission Requirements

• A public repository on GitHub containing the application source code.
• The AI model and integration details.
• Clear instructions on how to set up and run the application locally.
