4 pillars for building a modern AI application in JavaScript

links:none on file

Live-coding builds a TypeScript AI app using LangChain.js to call a local LLaMA-based LLM with streaming and system + few‑shot prompts, then adds 1024‑dim vector embeddings stored in an in‑memory retriever to implement RAG and pull PDFs for answers (it finds $1.90 a day per chicken). Tools are exposed as JSON‑schema endpoints, served by an MCP server on port 3000, and an agentic LangGraph workflow successfully routes to a donate call (LangChain.js).
