Course Overview

Welcome to LLM App Development: Building Powered Applications with LangChain. This hands-on course is designed to take you from a beginner to confidently building LLM-powered applications using the LangChain framework.

What You'll Learn

  • LLMs vs ChatModels: Understand the core distinctions between standard text-completion models and structured, message-based chat models.
  • Prompt Templates: Design reusable and dynamic blueprints to efficiently format inputs for language models.
  • Chains: Construct execution pipelines linking prompts, LLMs, and other utility chains.
  • Agents and Tools: Build systems where the LLM dynamically decides which actions to take and external tools to execute.
  • Memory: Implement conversational memory to persist state across multiple interactions.
  • Document Loaders: Load external data source files to perform custom question-answering.

Prerequisites

  • Basic proficiency in Python programming.
  • An active OpenAI API key for running model interactions.
  • A development environment (like VS Code) set up on your machine.
