Build Your Own AI File Assistant with Blazor & Local LLMs (Like Claude Code Cowork)

Build an AI-powered file management assistant that runs entirely on your local machine! In this video, I'll
show you TemuCowork Agent - a Blazor application that connects to Ollama for local LLM inference and uses
Microsoft Semantic Kernel to give AI the ability to read, write, search, and manage your files through
natural conversation.
