Why I Trained an AI to Read My Mind (Sort Of) 🤯
Chapter 1: Lost in the Notes Jungle 🗺️
Ever feel like Indiana Jones exploring an ancient temple, except it's your own Obsidian vault, and instead of treasures, you find endless walls of notes? Yeah, that was me—trapped in the maze of my self-hosted MinIO server, desperately hunting for that brilliant idea I scribbled last Tuesday.
Chapter 2: Imagining My Personal AI Sidekick đź§
What if an AI could understand me better than my mom when I'm mumbling? I dreamt of an assistant who’d know exactly what I meant, even if my queries sounded like, "That thing I wrote when caffeinated at 2 AM." Clearly, fuzzy search wasn’t cutting it anymore. NLP, here I come!
Chapter 3: The Llama (Index) Drama 🦙
After diving deep into the rabbit hole of "how to solve all my problems with AI" (thanks Google and ChatGPT 🤖), I discovered LlamaIndex. It seemed perfect for indexing my chaos. Paired with Ollama and Mistral, it felt like hitting the jackpot—until I learned running Mistral locally required more horsepower than a spaceship. Great, another brilliant plan bites the dust.
Chapter 4: OpenAI Saves My Wallet (Barely) đź’¸
Refusing defeat by hardware limitations, I wondered, "How expensive could OpenAI really be?" Without concrete answers, I gambled $5. After vibe coding through bugs, cryptic error messages, and frustration (thanks again, ChatGPT and good old Google 🔍), it worked! Queries that previously sent me spiraling were now effortlessly answered by my shiny new AI.
Chapter 5: Optimization and Making It Pretty (Finally!) ✨
Yet, one hiccup remained: every query triggered my MinIO server, making my setup slower than a dial-up modem from the '90s. Solution? Cache the index locally, refreshing only when necessary. Efficiency unlocked! ⚡
For the finishing touch, I crafted an easy-on-the-eyes interface with Streamlit. Suddenly, what used to be painful became delightfully smooth.
Epilogue: Hold onto Your Hats—This is Just the Start! 🎩
Armed with my newfound vibe coding powers, I'm dreaming bigger. The floodgates of creativity are open, and who knows what I'll vibe code next. Stay tuned for more adventures, mishaps, and hopefully fewer tears! 🌟
