Templates to make the platform user-friendly

[mmabrouk]

Background:

1. User feedback indicates our platform is hard to install and initiate.
2. Users predominantly create single prompt applications for their test sets.
   => Most user don't need to create apps from code, they would want to create the apps from the frontend directly.

Proposed Updates:

• Introduce an option in the UI to create single-prompt applications, catering to user preferences.

User Experience:

• Users navigate to agenta's main page, choose to create a new project, and are asked whether to start from code or use a template. They opt for a template, provide the app name, and possibly select a template (e.g. sentiment analysis, classification..(.
• Users are presented with an application playground where they can engage with all functionalities available to normal applications.

Technical Considerations:

• The "start from template" option triggers the following steps:
  • A Docker image is fetched from the Docker Hub.
  • The Docker image is launched as a container with traefik.
  • Relevant information (location, variant name, etc.) is added to the backend.
• Challenges to consider:
  • API Key use: We need to establish a process to utilize the API key when launching the container.

This look like a good direction to me. Especially for the users that are not devs. :)

Introducing a UI option to create single-prompt applications aligns perfectly with user preferences, making project initiation easier. The proposed user experience and technical considerations seem well-thought-out. Overall, this update should greatly enhance the platform's usability for users.
