The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve user experiences is gaining popularity in today’s world. One fascinating application of AI is the creation of chatbots, which can engage users in conversation and provide helpful information or services.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the process of building an AI-powered Slack bot using Embedchain, a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) framework powered by LangChain. Additionally, we’ll deploy our bot on AWS using Pulumi, a modern infrastructure as code (IaC) platform.

Building low-code LLM applications just got easier! With Flowise, LocalAI, and Pulumi, you can quickly create, deploy, and manage AI-powered workflows on AWS EKS—without writing complex code.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to:

1. Set up a low-code LLM application using Flowise & LocalAI
2. Deploy it on AWS EKS with Pulumi & TypeScript
3. Create a chatbot workflow and expose it via API

Flowise simplifies LLM orchestration with a drag-and-drop interface, while LocalAI enables local inference without requiring a GPU. Pulumi streamlines cloud infrastructure deployment with just a few lines of code.

With Pulumi ESC, our goal is to not only create a tool that simplifies the development process but also one that developers love. In pursuit of this goal, we’re excited to announce enhancements to the Pulumi ESC environment editor. These enhancements are focused on addressing common challenges encountered when authoring environments: syntax errors, type errors, frequent context switches to and from documentation, and more. Our aim is to make the process of authoring environments as straightforward as possible by removing common hurdles.

“Developer experience is hard to sell,” said Cleve Littlefield, Engineering Manager at Pulumi, during a casual meeting. With experience as both an end-user developer and a lead in self-service platform implementation, Cleve’s observation stuck with me.

Though I have expertise in leading implementations and upgrades for internal platforms, none were specifically for developers. However, experience remains vital across departments, addressing tools, processes, systems, and best practices, aiming to reduce cognitive load, increase productivity, enhance collaboration, boost communication and much more.

Intriguingly, engineering teams may perceive its value differently. Therefore, we will dive into the concept of developer experience, aka DevEx, which, in truth, should translate into a competitive advantage.

AI is impacting almost every industry today, and for good reason - we are seeing fundamentally new experiences being made possible across a wide variety of products, and a set of new AI capabilities that promise even more incredible change in the near future.

Software development is among the earliest and most prominent fields to realize the benefits of AI, evidenced by the rapid adoption of tools like Github Copilot which is now one of the most heavily adopted developer tools of all time. Developers are benefiting from an incredible increase in their productivity with better scale and faster time to market.

We’re seeing the impacts of AI in the cloud Infrastructure development space in two impactful and complimentary directions:

• 🤖➜☁️: AI is transforming how we author, build and manage cloud infrastructure
• ☁️➜🤖: Cloud infrastructure tooling is changing how we build and deliver AI-based applications

At Pulumi, we’ve already seen profound impacts from AI in both of these directions.

As a skeptic of “quick starts” myself, I approach most marketing promises with a measure of cautious excitement. If the great and powerful algorithm, friends, or a peer brought your attention here, then I invite you to take this one seriously.

Pulumi, with its full support of many general-purpose programming languages, can appear like a chore to get started with. The feeling can haunt seasoned developers as much as practitioners new to infrastructure code.

However, I’ll show you that finding the proverbial easy street is easier than you might believe. The pulumi new developer story just gets sweeter when combined with a few other nice-to-have conveniences.
