Book Description

In Building AI-Powered Apps with Angular, you'll embark on an end-to-end journey to revolutionize web development with artificial intelligence. This hands-on guide shows you how to integrate cutting-edge AI capabilities, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) like Google Gemini and multimodal agents, directly into your Angular applications.

Starting with AI/ML fundamentals and an introduction to Google Gemini using Node.js, you’ll quickly progress to building sophisticated AI features within your Angular frontend. You’ll create dynamic content, design intelligent multi-turn chat interfaces, and harness multimodal AI to analyze and generate rich media such as images and videos.

The journey extends beyond the frontend. You’ll build robust backends with Angular Server-Side Rendering and Genkit, enabling seamless communication with AI models. You’ll also implement advanced search capabilities using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Firestore and learn how to deploy your AI-powered Angular app to the cloud.

By the end of the book, you'll have the skills to design, develop, and deploy innovative and intelligent Angular applications that leverage the full potential of AI.

What you will learn

• Integrate LLMs and Gemini multimodal AI into Angular
• Build dynamic text generation and interactive chat interfaces
• Create AI-driven image and video generation tools
• Implement RAG with Firestore for grounded LLM responses
• Develop robust Angular SSR apps with advanced AI-powered features
• Master testing, security, and deployment for AI solutions
• Understand ethical AI practices in web development
• Strategize AI for growth and innovation in Angular products
