Part 8/13:

• Incorporate retrieval, memory, and APIs for modular, scalable solutions.

Modular Building Blocks

Designing effective AI solutions involves integrating key modules:

• Retrieval & Knowledge Bases: Using vector embeddings to fetch up-to-date and relevant information.

• Memory Layers: Combining short-term context (like a prompt window) with long-term external memory (databases or files) for maintaining state.

• APIs & External Tools: Connecting to existing software tools for actions (emailing, scheduling, CRUD operations).

• Workflow Management: Structuring tasks into workflows—prompt chaining, routing, gating—to automate processes predictably.

Practical Workflow Examples

The presentation showcases several workflows:

1. Prompt Chaining (e.g., Marketing Copy)
