Abstract
AI-enabled applications will allow users to collaborate with the application more like a collaborator - with less data entry. For example, a recipe management app can allow you to use your actual recipes formatted as rich text or imported from websites instead of requiring the user to re-enter data as complex forms with fields for ingredients, instructions, etc. - all while tracking nutrition and calories programmatically.
In other words, both users and LLMs are happiest working with unstructured text...but core business logic still needs structured data. Offering unstructured text input to the user also presents new challenges, as client side code editors are quite complex, and offering the right combination of freedom and structure can be a challenge.
This talk will present the problem and some of the solutions I have explored in the context of a nutrition and meal planning app that uses LLMs to facilitate meal planning and food logging.
