This month's Elixir Reading List covers AI integration and the growing Elixir ecosystem. The Arcana RAG library and its demo app bring retrieval-augmented generation to Elixir, while Codicil and a guide to building a MCP server in Elixir show the language's emerging role in the LLM toolchain.

On the practical side, 150,000 Lines of Vibe Coded Elixir is a candid account of AI-assisted Elixir development at scale, and From Skeptic to Believer traces one developer's conversion to the BEAM ecosystem. Lazy Doc tackles AI-powered documentation, Gust offers task-based workflow orchestration, and the roundup of best UI components for Phoenix/LiveView is a useful reference for front-end work.

As always, the Quantum Fax Machine Propellor Hat Key will guide your browsing. Enjoy! elixir-propellor-hat-key.png
