From Half‑dead Prototype to Local‑Only AI Medical Assistant: Rewiring MedClinic with GitHub Copilot

Dev.to AI
Generative AI

This is a submission for the GitHub Finish‑Up‑A‑Thon Challenge What I Built I built MedClinic, a fully local AI‑powered medical assistant that runs on a MedGamma‑2B‑class model without any third‑party APIs or cloud services. Instead of slapping a shiny frontend on an off‑the‑shelf API, I: Wrote the entire orchestration layer by hand (no pre‑trained wrappers). Pipelined plain user text → MedGamma‑2B inference → structured JSON response as a pure inference pipeline. Did not use any external API - everything lives on‑device.
