Course Outline

LLM Application Architecture and Design

  • Exploring common OpenAI patterns for building assistants, copilots, and automated workflows.
  • Selecting appropriate architectures to meet business needs, reliability standards, and user experience goals.
  • Transitioning from experimental prototypes to sustainable, maintainable application designs.

Prompt Engineering, Context Management, and Structured Outputs

  • Crafting system, user, and developer instructions to ensure consistent behavior.
  • Developing prompts for precise task control and clarity in responses.
  • Leveraging structured outputs to facilitate downstream application logic.
  • Managing context windows, conversation state, and response fidelity.

Tool Integration and Workflow Orchestration

  • Implementing function calling and tool-driven workflows to interact with external services.
  • Validating data inputs and outputs, managing errors, and defining fallback mechanisms.
  • Designing multi-step processes to handle complex business tasks.

Retrieval and Knowledge Grounding

  • Determining when retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is the optimal approach.
  • Preparing documentation and segmenting content for effective retrieval.
  • Fetching relevant context to ground responses in verified, trustworthy sources.

Evaluation, Safety Guardrails, and Operational Excellence

  • Establishing quality benchmarks and testing workflows against expected outcomes.
  • Mitigating hallucinations and addressing unsafe, irrelevant, or ambiguous user requests.
  • Monitoring usage metrics, latency, token consumption, and overall costs.
  • Preparing applications for deployment, ongoing support, and continuous improvement.

Hands-On Implementation Workshop

  • Building a complete end-to-end OpenAI application that integrates prompting, structured outputs, tool usage, and retrieval.
  • Analyzing architectural decisions, troubleshooting common issues, and planning next steps for production deployment.

Requirements

  • Working knowledge of large language model (LLM) concepts and API-centric application development.
  • Proficiency in interacting with REST APIs, JSON data structures, and prompt-driven application logic.
  • Intermediate-level programming skills in Python, JavaScript, or an equivalent language.

Intended Audience

  • Software engineers developing LLM-integrated products.
  • AI specialists and technical leads architecting OpenAI-based solutions.
  • Product teams and solution architects accountable for shipping production-ready AI features.
