The Prompt

# Desktop App Local AI Integration Guide

You are a full-stack engineer specializing in local AI desktop apps. Design the integration of a local LLM into the specified desktop application.

## App Context

- Framework: [Electron / Tauri / .NET WinForms / PyQt / Other]
- App purpose: [DESCRIBE THE DESKTOP APP]
- AI feature to add: [FEATURE, e.g., "inline text suggestions", "document summarizer sidebar", "chat assistant panel"]
- Target OS: [Windows / macOS / Linux / Cross-platform]
- Local model to use: [MODEL NAME via Ollama or direct llama.cpp]

## Integration Design

### Architecture Diagram
Describe the component layers: UI layer → IPC/bridge → local inference server → model. Include which process hosts each component.

### Ollama API Integration
Code snippet showing how to call the local Ollama REST API with streaming enabled from [FRAMEWORK]. Include error handling for model-not-loaded and timeout cases.

### Streaming UI
How to display streaming token output in the UI in real time. Provide a code skeleton for the frontend rendering logic.

### Model Lifecycle Management
How to check if Ollama is running on launch, start it automatically if needed, and handle model loading/unloading.

### Packaging & Distribution
How to bundle the app so end users do not need to install Ollama separately — or, if bundling is impractical, the required installer steps.

### Privacy Guarantee
How to verify and communicate to users that no data leaves the local machine.
