Review the project scope

In this tutorial, we will create an AI agent for a sample web app. The app displays data about cloud infrastructure objects, such as VMs, buckets and services, retrieved from a Google Firebase database.

The AI agent will be embedded directly into the sample app, enabling it to:

  • Answer questions using:

    • Static data from web documentation

    • Dynamic data from the database

  • Present information in various formats and media types

  • Provide actionable links for navigating between app pages and sections

Run the sample app

To get and run the sample app for which the AI agent is built throughout this tutorial:

  1. Download and install Node.js on your machine.

  2. Install the Angular CLI on your machine:

    Terminal
    npm install -g @angular/cli

  3. Download the sample app archive.

  4. Extract the app content to a folder on your machine.

  5. In the Terminal, navigate to the app folder and run the command to install the app dependencies:

    Dialog script
    npm install

  6. In the Terminal, run the command to start the app:

    Dialog script
    ng serve --open

  7. In the app, switch between VMs, Buckets and Services tabs to review available infrastructure objects.
