I recently updated my website to have a touch of this new AI thing.
The initial idea was simple: what if visitors could explore a CV by chatting with it instead of scanning a traditional static website?
I'm quite happy how the final version turned out:
* It runs LLM inference via Groq at 100-200ms latency at super low cost. The token generation is intentionally throttled to make the interaction feel natural, otherwise you'd literally hit enter and the response is already there.
* Except for a markdown rendering and HTMX4 there's no client side javascript!
* It's build with a custom server-side swift stack so everything related to the HTMX4 static site generation and networking layer is pure swift.
* As a nice side effect, search engines/crawlers cannot collect my CV right away, everything is bound to interactivity with the chat interface.
Technically you can ask the chat anything you want about my professional work experience. Rate limits & guard rails apply :)
I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Why is that a nice side effect?
The whole site feels undesigned and, worse, broken due to not respecting most fundamental web interactions. E.g., the back button breaks the prompting.

I haven't caught that back button bug yet, thanks for letting me know.
The search engines/crawler aspect is just a personal preference, less a "nice side effect". The chat interface happens to fit that preference better.
