I had a fun week working on an agentic AI project! So I've been diving into building agentic AI apps in JavaScript and created this grocery shopping assistant called Redish.

Basically you can ask it stuff like - "what do I need for pasta?", and it figures out the ingredients, does a semantic search to fetch actual products from the database, and helps you build a shopping list. Or you can do a "mood-based discovery" for dishes and buy ingredients, like:

"I'm craving something with coconut", or
"I want to buy some snacks when I invite my friends to watch cricket this evening",

The cool part is watching it work through the problem step by step.

I went with Redis because when you're building these AI agents, they need to remember context and switch between different tasks super quickly. For the AI agent orchestration, I used Langgraph.js.

This week I spent time making the caching smarter and cleaning up how the agent handles different tools.

If anyone's curious, you can try it here: live demo. And here's the Github repository.

As part of the 2025 Hacktoberfest Writing Challenge:

Made two demos about github.com/opt-nc/geol, a DEVOPS cli we are currently buidling

A tweet that explains a bit more about what DEVOPS and DEVSECOPS are (a kind of "For dummies"):

... then a bigger one that unboxes a new feature, including a live Vibe Coding session from the terminal :

This week I've:

  1. managed to hook up lua to my sshourboros bot logic. It was a mixed bag -- the integration works but the code is overly complex for both invoking lua and actually determining next direction.
    -- The eventual goal is to open bot writing through ssh ui for you guys to implement your own strategies and seen who's strategy is the best

  2. Addressed some issues with speed implementation where you would stop prematurely

  3. I'm getting back to writing code which unfortunately is not where my job lately have been and I love it so much!
