# AI Web Applications

The DCC builds a set of AI-powered web applications for the Canton of Basel-Stadt administration. This section gives a high-level, non-technical overview of each app: what it does, which interfaces it relies on, and how it is made available to cantonal users.

All apps share the same architectural pattern:

* **Frontend**: [Nuxt](https://nuxt.com/) (Vue.js), using the shared [Nuxt Layers](/nuxt-layers/index.md) and [User Interface](/user-interface/index.md) components
* **Backend**: [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/) (Python), using the shared [Backend Common](/backend-common/index.md) package
* **AI inference**: models hosted on the [Kantonale Daten- und KI-Plattform (KDKP)](/infrastructure/index.md) — the canton's on-premise, sovereign AI infrastructure
* **Feedback**: in-app feedback widget that files a [GitHub issue](/nuxt-layers/feedback_control.md) directly, no separate feedback backend

For technical setup, environment variables, and deployment details, see the respective app repositories on GitHub. This section intentionally stays at the feature/interface level.
