GoldenOrb: AI Generated UI Components that Run Everywhere via WebAssembly

ElixirConf US 2024 - Patrick Smith
Welcome to ElixirConf

Components are everywhere: React, Web Components, and of course Phoenix. But while there are various excellent component libraries like React Aria & Shoelace, adopting these means also adopting tech like React or giving up on server-side rendering. Orb lets you write WebAssembly in Elixir. This talk shows how you can use Orb with LLMs in Livebook to generate interactive UI components compiled to WebAssembly that will run server-side in Elixir, in the browser via Web Components, or both via LiveView. AI is notorious for hallucinating: here the constraints of WebAssembly sandboxing & ARIA actually help as we have strict limits we can test the validity & accessibility of the generated code against.
