Course Outline

LLM Application Architecture and Design

  • Explore common OpenAI application patterns, including assistants, copilots, and workflow automation.
  • Select appropriate architectures based on business requirements, reliability, and user experience.
  • Transition from prototype code to maintainable application design.

Prompting, Context Management, and Structured Outputs

  • Structure system, user, and developer instructions to ensure predictable behavior.
  • Design prompts for consistency, task control, and clearer responses.
  • Leverage structured outputs to support downstream application logic.
  • Manage context windows, conversation state, and overall response quality.

Tool Integration and Workflow Orchestration

  • Utilize function calling and tool-enabled workflows with external services.
  • Validate inputs and outputs, manage errors, and implement fallback behaviors.
  • Design multi-step flows to address practical business tasks.

Retrieval-Augmented Generation and Knowledge Grounding

  • Identify scenarios where retrieval-augmented generation is suitable.
  • Prepare documents and chunk content for effective retrieval.
  • Retrieve relevant context and ground responses in trusted sources.

Evaluation, Guardrails, and Operational Readiness

  • Define quality criteria and test workflows against expected outcomes.
  • Mitigate hallucinations and handle unsafe, irrelevant, or ambiguous requests.
  • Monitor usage, latency, token consumption, and costs.
  • Prepare applications for deployment, support, and iterative improvement.

Hands-On Implementation Workshop

  • Construct a small end-to-end OpenAI application combining prompting, structured output, tool use, and retrieval.
  • Review design decisions, address common issues, and outline practical next steps for production use.

Requirements

  • Understanding of large language model concepts and API-based application development.
  • Experience with REST APIs, JSON, and prompt-driven application workflows.
  • Intermediate programming proficiency in Python, JavaScript, or a similar language.

Target Audience

  • Software developers creating LLM-powered applications.
  • AI engineers and technical leads designing solutions based on OpenAI.
  • Product teams and solution architects managing production AI features.
