BubbleChat

BubbleChat is a prototype that uses the Bubble Tea framework for a terminal-based program that interacts with the Gemini LLM.

The chat interface supports both interacting with the LLM and using tools like kubectl, assuming they are present and configured on the machine. If the prompt from the user calls for a tool callout, the tool's execution is displayed in green on the terminal.

Key Libraries

BubbleChat leverages several powerful Go libraries:

• Bubble Tea: A framework for building terminal-based user interfaces, providing the foundation for the interactive chat experience.
• kubectl-ai: Using the go-llm abstraction that allows one to work with several LLM providers
• godotenv: A library used to load environment variables from a .env file, facilitating easy configuration of the GEMINI_API_KEY.
• Go Task: A task runner and build tool, simplifying common development tasks like building and running the application, as defined in Taskfile.yml.

Gemini Key

The Gemini key can be provided via the GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable or by specifying GEMINI_API_KEY in the .env file. The program uses godotenv to load the .env file if it exists.

Building

The common building and test tasks are done via the Taskfile.yml. If you do not have it installed but have Go, the easiest way to install it is via:

go install github.com/go-task/task/v3/cmd/task@latest

Usage

To run the application, use the following command:

task run

Make sure to set your GEMINI_API_KEY in your environment or in the .env file before running the application.
