       | We (the authors of the Solara web app framework) were inspired by
       | the OpenAI keynote Wanderlust app they demoed and rebuilt it in
       | Python using Solara. It would be good to showcase our framework's
       | power and inspire others to build UI's with AI/LLM elements in
       | it.

         | Excellent work. Do you envision this more for data science
         | work, or can this be used for building general purpose webapp?

           | solara, and we know a few startups using solara for their
           | main product (public-facing, not internal).

         | calls and collect confirmations. Then it would present me with
         | my itinerary which I can ask it to change at any time.

           | 
           | because it's not like human travel agents don't exist today,
           | just like human drivers exist today. Does having an AI book
           | the tickets for you meaningfully change the things for you,
           | the customer?

             | Since it's automated, it could cost less than a dollar per
             | booking, orders of magnitude less than what a travel agent
             | could offer.

       | Solara is a fantastic project! The user experience is excellent,
       | and I can quickly get ideas up and running. Solara can
       | potentially become _the_ framework for shipping ML /AI apps.
       | 
       | We (Ploomber) have been working with the team to help their
       | community easily deploy applications in our cloud platform:

       | So this uses an OpenAI assistant, then? This is really cool!
