Book Description
Explore the transformative potential of GenAI in the application development lifecycle. Through concrete examples, you will go through the process of ideation and integration, understanding the tradeoffs and the decision points when integrating GenAI.
With recent advances in models like Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, DALL-E and GPT-4o, this timely resource will help you harness these technologies through proven design patterns.
We then delve into the practical applications of GenAI, identifying common use cases and applying design patterns to address real-world challenges. From summarization and metadata extraction to intent classification and question answering, each chapter offers practical examples and blueprints for leveraging GenAI across diverse domains and tasks. You will learn how to fine-tune models for specific applications, progressing from basic prompting to sophisticated strategies such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and chain of thought.
Additionally, we provide end-to-end guidance on operationalizing models, including data prep, training, deployment, and monitoring. We also focus on responsible and ethical development techniques for transparency, auditing, and governance as crucial design patterns.

What you will learn
Concepts of GenAI: pre-training, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and RAG
Framework for integrating AI: entry points, prompt pre-processing, inference, post-processing, and presentation
