Course Outline

LLM Application Architecture and Design

  • Common OpenAI application patterns for assistants, copilots, and workflow automation.
  • Selecting the appropriate architecture based on business requirements, reliability needs, and user experience.
  • Transitioning from prototype code to maintainable application design.

Prompting, Context, and Structured Outputs

  • Structuring system, user, and developer instructions for predictable behavior.
  • Designing prompts to ensure consistency, task control, and clearer responses.
  • Utilizing structured outputs to support downstream application logic.
  • Managing context windows, conversation state, and response quality.

Tool Use and Workflow Orchestration

  • Leveraging function calling and tool-enabled workflows with external services.
  • Validating inputs and outputs, handling errors, and implementing fallback behaviors.
  • Designing multi-step flows for practical business tasks.

Retrieval and Knowledge Grounding

  • Identifying appropriate scenarios for retrieval-augmented generation.
  • Preparing documents and chunking content for effective retrieval.
  • Retrieving relevant context and grounding responses in trusted sources.

Evaluation, Guardrails, and Operational Readiness

  • Defining quality criteria and testing workflows against expected outcomes.
  • Mitigating hallucinations and managing unsafe, irrelevant, or ambiguous requests.
  • Monitoring usage, latency, token consumption, and costs.
  • Preparing applications for deployment, support, and iterative improvement.

Hands-On Implementation Workshop

  • Building a small end-to-end OpenAI application that integrates prompting, structured output, tool use, and retrieval.
  • Reviewing design decisions, common issues, and practical next steps for production deployment.

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 comparable language.

Audience

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