Course Description

In this Build Chat Applications with OpenAI and LangChain course, we’ll unravel the LangChain framework that has gained massive popularity in AI. One of the components in this ever-growing ecosystem is the LangChain Python library, which we’ll use to leverage OpenAI’s potent language models and build the foundations for developing intriguing LLM-powered applications in our LangChain course. We’ll employ the power of the LangChain Expression Language to create stateful, context-aware, reasoning chatbots that remember past conversations, answer questions about unseen data, and take action to solve more complex problems. This course is part of our advanced deep learning courses, focusing on practical applications of AI.

  • 2. Tokens, Models, and Prices
    2 Lessons 9 Min

    The smallest building block of a language model is the token. The collection of all unique tokens represents the vocabulary of a language model. In this section, we’ll discuss how a token is defined in the context of OpenAI’s language models and how tokens determine a model’s price. Additionally, we’ll spend a few minutes presenting the different models OpenAI offers. Understanding token management is vital for optimizing the use of OpenAI models.

  • 3. Setting Up the Environment
    3 Lessons 13 Min

    This section lays the groundwork for the course’s practical segment. We’ll cover creating a separate virtual environment with its own Python version and package set. Next, we’ll explain API key management and how to acquire an OpenAI API key—enabling our projects to use OpenAI’s expansive language models. Lastly, we’ll demonstrate setting this API key as an environment variable.

  • 4. The OpenAI API
    4 Lessons 17 Min

    Before discussing the LangChain framework, we’ll first explore the OpenAI API basics—using various roles in prompts, setting the model temperature to adjust response randomness, limiting completion tokens, and streaming responses. This will later serve as a steppingstone towards understanding LangChain’s integration with OpenAI.

  • 5. Model Inputs
    8 Lessons 41 Min

    We now enter the realm of LangChain, starting with model inputs. We’ll distinguish between prompts, prompt templates, and chat prompt templates and explore the few-shot prompting—a technique that enhances model responses by training on tailored question-answer examples. We’ll also introduce the invoke() method—essential for the upcoming LangChain Expression Language section.

  • 6. Message History and Chatbot Memory
    6 Lessons 33 Min

    Language models are naturally stateless and don't retain previous interactions. This section of our how to build a chatbot tutorial examines popular methods for conversation storage—using a buffer, a capped buffer, or summarizing ongoing discussions and updating the summary after each interaction.

  • 7. Output Parsers
    3 Lessons 9 Min

    As we’ve seen in previous sections, the output from a language model in LangChain comes as an AI message. This format, however, often doesn’t come in handy as we can’t pass it to other methods or applications. Therefore, LangChain offers what is known as output parsers—making it possible to parse an AI message to a different object: a string, a CSV, a DateTime object, or whatnot.

  • 8. LangChain Expression Language (LCEL)
    14 Lessons 72 Min

    We now arrive at the crux of our practice journey—a discussion allowing us to build the most essential objects in LangChain: the chains. The foundational idea behind the LangChain Expression Language is that the output of one chain component serves as the input to the next one, making the chains modular objects that can be quickly composed and combined. Additionally, we’ll discuss Runnable objects—the type of objects that can be entered as chain components.

  • 9. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
    18 Lessons 86 Min

    In this course section, we address retrieval augmented generation—a technique that efficiently supplies context-specific information to a model. This process involves loading and segmenting personal data, embedding these segments, storing them in a vector store, and selectively retrieving and delivering only the relevant segments to the model. We’ll start with a theoretical discussion on this topic, then apply our knowledge to develop a basic 365 Q&A chatbot using transcripts from two 365 lectures.

  • 10. Tools and Agents
    8 Lessons 38 Min

    The Build Chat Applications with OpenAI and LangChain Course's final section explores how reasoning chatbots select and apply the appropriate tools to tackle complex problems. This is accomplished by equipping a model with various tools, including a decision-making agent for tool selection and an executor to apply the chosen tool. Our LangChain course’s model will demonstrate this with a Wikipedia tool, a retriever tool, and a custom Python function.
