Enhancing Aspire with AI: integrating Ollama for local error resolution

In this article, we'll explore how we developed an Aspire component that spins up an Ollama container and downloads a Large Language Model, ready for use. If you're new to any of these technologies, you can continue reading, otherwise feel free to skip to the technical walkthrough. As a quick bit of background, we recently released an Aspire component that brings a free, lightweight Raygun app into your local development environment to help debug exceptions. We then subsequently enhanced this with AI Error Resolution capabilities which runs entirely on your local machine.
