Generative AI Apps with LangChain and Python: A Project-Based Approach to Building Real-World LLM Apps

Future-proof your programming career through practical projects designed to grasp the intricacies of LangChains components, from core chains to advanced conversational agents.  This hands-on book provides Python developers with the necessary skills to develop real-world Large Language Model (LLM)-based Generative AI applications quickly, regardless of their experience level.

Projects throughout the book offer practical LLM solutions for common business issues, such as information overload, internal knowledge access, and enhanced customer communication. Meanwhile, youll learn how to optimize workflows, enhance embedding efficiency, select between vector stores, and other optimizations relevant to experienced AI users. The emphasis on real-world applications and practical examples will enable you to customize your own projects to address pain points across various industries.

Developing LangChain-based Generative AI LLM Apps with Python employs a focused toolkit (LangChain, Pinecone, and Streamlit LLM integration) to practically showcase how Python developers can leverage existing skills to build Generative AI solutions. By addressing tangible challenges, youll learn-by-be doing, enhancing your career possibilities in todays rapidly evolving landscape.
