Lessons from Building and Deploying Agentic AI Apps

Building GenAI Agentic based applications feels both familiar and unusual at the same time. While the core principles of software development—APIs, services, and infrastructure—remain, the introduction of agentic AI brings a new set of challenges like probabilistic models, semantic evaluation, and prompt security. These elements introduce a new layer of complexity that can be both exhilarating and perplexing.

My talk at AICamp provides tips and tricks on integrating AI into your software development lifecycle]]>

Tips for building applications that use GenAI

Applications can leverage GenAI to perform a number of tasks that can e very helpful for the end users. However, integrating GenAI into any application development comes with a number of new challenges and paradigm shifts. In my talk at AICamp Chicago, we discussed several topics on what those challenges are and what are some of the tools and techniques that can help simplify the adoption process. We discussed, among other things:

  • New AI specific tasks that teams have to add to their development lifecycle
  • How to tame the input and output of an LLM model
  • Choosing the correct model
  • The importance of monitoring models
  • And so much more!

Using the LangChain ecosystem to build, test and evaluate AI applications

LangChain is one of the most popular AI development ecosystems in current times. Below are the slides from my talk at AI Camp about using Langchain to build GenAI based applications faster and more reliably. During the talk we touched on using:

  • Langserve and LangChain Templates to get started in your journey quickly. We also used it debug and test our application.

  • LangChain to quickly integrate our data with a couple of LLMs and create different chains to accomplish multiple tasks with the models

  • LangChain Hub to reuse our model prompts

  • LangSmith to trace the calls to the language model, monitor our application over time and evaluate our results toward various metrics (e.g.: Relevance, insensitivity)
