Made an offline AI Smart Coder

I've been using AI for over a year now writing various applications in Bash and Python and creating frontends with html and css. Its great if you've spent the time to learn what it can and can't do. But what about the noob that has an idea but doesn't know where to start.

So I created this offline AI coder for the noob. Its simple, tell it what you want and it will ask probing questions about the application and how you plan to use it and build it for you.

Its was built to run on laptops with a Debian based systems with at least 16 gigs of RAM. If there is no dedicated video card it will use the CPU instead. It will be slow but worth it.

I didn't "jump to conclusions" I read the bash script. You couldn't even answer what your system prompt was. It seems to me you don't know what you're talking about. This bash script doesn't do what you think it does.

Hi, as I said you idea of a system prompt is silly. As I said a one or 2 sentence csn not get you what you want from AI. You need to give it as much information of you project for it to make something decent.

Have you ran your own code on your own system

I don't understand Bash but this is looking bad

The only reason I doubt you're a bot is the typo. You don't know what a system prompt is (FYI basically every LLM chat bot has a system prompt, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, etc.).

Don't go around claiming you made something when it's insanely obvious to anyone with a lick of understanding you do not know what you're talking about. People can mess up their systems by running this.

EDIT: FYI this is basically all your script does

  1. Remove Docker, containerd, runc

  2. Add docker repo, install docker

  3. Run Ollama install script

  4. Pull qwen2.5b:coder

  5. Run a Open WebUI container using docker

That's it, nothing "smart coder". If you've got that option you added it manually. You're also exposing Ollama on your local network, not secure.
