Building local AI apps using Electron and llama.cpp

By Async (Web Tech Meetup)

Brighton & Hove 2 Jul 2026, 19:00 to 21:00

On July 2nd we'll be joined by Roger Carvalho – creator of Clipbeam.

In this talk Roger will discuss how to build a cross platform desktop app that can take advantage of AI capabilities without relying on cloud-based APIs.

We'll be taking a look at Clipbeam – a collection of JavaScript and native modules that allow content extraction from webpages\, files and audio\, auto tagging & categorization of content\, RAG with semantic search\, and an AI chatbot with voice capabilities that runs entirely on a user’s device.

🍕🍻 Pizza and drinks will be provided thanks to sponsorship from Puck – the open source visual editor for React.

In-person attendees: Please arrive at Runway East (ground floor) between 19:00 and 19:15 for refreshments and socializing. Make sure you are registered to attend so we have an idea of numbers for catering.

Remote attendees: To be confirmed. This event may not be streamed.
