Typescript x AI Meetup Talk: Privacy First AI Summarizing in TypeScript
On May 21, 2025 I was fortunate enough to present a TNG hacking project at the Munich Typescript Meetup. Thanks to the organizer Carl Assmann and TNG Technology Consulting GmbH for having me!

Talk Abstract
Nearly every AI-enabled product in 2025 has a summarizing function. But they all use 3rd party software to get the summary. This raises major privacy concerns and is prohibitive for most of us in the community. We display a small React/Typescript app that will enable you to summarize even longer text on your local machine or anywhere and a Large Language Model of your choosing. We motivate the app and show it in a live demo with local and remote LLMs. We discuss different approaches to prompting and the quality of summaries on various LLMs. We show the implementation and dive into the most interesting parts of the code.
Future Work
We are currently developing the app and plan to release a public version in the future. We will keep you posted on the TNG Twitter account, the Bored Consultant Twitter account or my LinkedIn Page.
