🚀 Enhance Documentation, Examples, and Agentic UI Integration #7711
Description
🎯 Goal
Improve LocalAI's documentation, examples, and integration capabilities with modern agentic UI frameworks and coding agents (e.g., Opencode, a2ui, CopilotKit) to better support developers building AI-powered applications.
✅ Objectives
1. Revamp Examples
- Cleanup outdated or irrelevant examples
- Update all examples to reflect the latest LocalAI features and API changes
- Add new, well-documented examples showcasing real-world use cases
2. Improve Documentation
- Update documentation with latest features and API changes
- Remove outdated or irrelevant content
- Improve structure and clarity for better onboarding
- Add tutorials for common integration patterns
3. Integrate with Opencode
- Create a dedicated example for Opencode integration ( https://opencode.ai/ )
- Document how to use LocalAI as a backend for Opencode coding agents
- Ensure compatibility with Opencode's agent workflow
4. Integrate with Generic UI Agent Frameworks
- Add examples for integration with a2ui (https://a2ui.org/)
- Add examples for integration with CopilotKit (https://www.copilotkit.ai/)
- Add examples for integration with genui (https://github.com/flutter/genui)
- Investigate requirements for "agent server" API compatibility
- Assess if LocalAI or Cogito (underlying agentic library) needs API changes to support these frameworks
- Document recommended patterns for connecting agentic UIs to LocalAI
5. Implementation Considerations
- Evaluate the need for standardized agent server API endpoints
- Ensure backward compatibility
- Consider adding a new
agent-apimodule or extending existing REST/WS interfaces - Explore WebSockets support for streaming agent interactions
🛠️ Suggested Next Steps
- Assign this issue to a team member responsible for documentation and developer experience
- Create a milestone titled "vX.X Developer Experience & Integration" to track progress
- Break down into smaller PRs for each sub-task
