Develop LLM Applications using LangChain

At the risk of overstating the obvious, generative AI using Large Language Models is the hottest topic in tech right now. Both developers and users are expecting generative AI features in applications. JavaScript applications included. This talk will introduce LangChain. While LangChain has a popular Python API, it also supports JavaScript. We will look at the core components of LangChain and how to integrate them into a JavaScript application. And how to use the LangChain Expression Langauge to build workflows. Next we will see how LangChain makes it simple to manage prompts. Finally the session will have example of using LangChain for popular applications like RAG and chatbots. You'll leave the talk with a foundation to be able to leverage the power of LLMs using JavaScript and TypeScript knowledge.
