Project Ollama

Project Ollama is an AI-powered email assistant built with .NET 9 and a React front-end. It exposes a small HTTP API that can classify incoming emails, generate responses and interact with multiple AI providers.

Requirements

• .NET 9 SDK
• Node.js 18+

Configuration

1. Use dotnet user-secrets to store your API keys outside the repository. The file secrets.example.json shows the required structure. Example:

   dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAi:ApiKey" "<your-key>"
   dotnet user-secrets set "AzureOpenAi:Endpoint" "<your-endpoint>"

2. Edit appsettings.json to select the AI provider via the AiProvider option. Supported providers are Ollama, AzureOpenAi, Groq and DockerModel. Each provider has its own section with model names and connection details.

Running the application

Development

Run the API and the React UI separately:

# start the ASP.NET backend
 dotnet run

In another terminal:

cd EmailUI
npm install
npm start

The React dev server proxies API calls to http://localhost:5130.

Production build

To build the React UI and serve it from ASP.NET:

cd EmailUI
npm install
npm run build:deploy
cd ..
dotnet run

Static files will be copied to wwwroot and hosted by the backend.

API Endpoints

• POST /ai/mail – Analyze an email and return a JSON action.
• GET /ai/health – Check the selected AI provider status.
• POST /ai/generate – General completion endpoint with prompt, model and temperature fields.

Example request:

curl -X POST http://localhost:5130/ai/mail \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"emailContent":"Your email text"}'
