Context

Rust AI-Buddy is part of the Rust10x blueprint family (https://github.com/rust10x).

The concept of Rust AI-Buddy is to leverage existing AI remote and cloud services like OpenAI (Cloud), Gemini (Cloud), ollama (local), lamafile (local), and others as it makes sense, and build higher-level constructs that are useful for end users.

ai-buddy is a multi-crate codebase that includes the following crates:

Crate Name	Description
/crates/ai-buddy	The core/main library used by ai-buddy-cli
/crates/ai-buddy-cli	The CLI for ai-buddy (buddy binary name)
/crates/ai-buddy-app	(Upcoming) Tauri App
