Recap and Learnings from Spawnfest 2024: Building Elm Applications with AI
Chris Miller recaps a project from Spawnfest 2024, a hackathon focusing on BEAM technologies. His team aimed to build an AI-driven Elm application. The project involved using ChatGPT to generate Elm code incrementally, overcoming numerous coding and integration challenges. They used the 'elmpark' project as a proof of concept, allowing the AI to write Elm code with minimal human intervention. The talk includes discussions on setting up development environments, prompt engineering for AI, and using various tools like Elixir and the Rambo library to run system commands. They faced several challenges, including environment setup issues and prompt engineering difficulties. The presentation ends with a functional though imperfect demo of the AI-generated Elm application.
