InfoDays Generative AI für Entwickler: ‘Talk to Your Systems’: Structured Output & Tool Calling - Rückgrat für LLM-Integration in eigene Anwendungen

Das "Sprechen" mit eigenen Daten (auch bekannt als RAG) ist der "Hello World"-Anwendungsfall für LLMs. Aber es gibt noch mehr zu entdecken. Basierend auf ihrem Verständnis der menschlichen Sprache können LLMs genutzt werden, um innovative Interaktionen für Anwendungen und Systeme zu realisieren.
In dieser Session zeigt Christian, wie Sie strukturierte Datenausgaben mit Datenschemata und Funktionsaufrufen nutzen, um Ihre APls mit der Power von LLMs zu verbinden. Sehen Sie, wie die transformative Natur von Generative Al eventuell auch Ihren Lösungen helfen kann. Kommen Sie vorbei und lassen Sie uns mit unseren Systemen sprechen!

12. 'Talk to your systems' Integrating Gen AI into your architectures with structured LLM output TALK TO YOUR SYSTEMS WHAT? 12
13. 'Talk to your systems' Integrating Gen AI into your architectures with structured LLM output 13 End-to-End Talking to your applications
14. 'Talk to your systems' Integrating Gen AI into your architectures with structured LLM output Talk to Thinktecture 14 Angular PWA Speech-to-Text Internal Gateway (Python FastAPI) LLM / SLM Text-to-Speech Transcribe spoken text Transcribed text Check for experts availability with text Extract { experts, booking times } from text Structured JSON data (Tool calling) Generate response with availability Response Response with experts availability 🗣 🔉 Speech-to-text for response Response audio Internal Business API (node.js – veeeery old) Query Availability API Availability When is CL…? CL will be…
15. Filling Angular forms with human language input protected readonly formGroup = this.fb.group({ firstName: [’’], lastName: [’’], addressLine1: [’’], addressLine2: [’’], city: [’’], state: [’’], zip: [’’], country: [’’] }); 'Talk to your systems' Integrating Gen AI into your architectures with structured LLM output Smart form filling OK, nice – so here is my address then:: Peter Schmitt, Rheinstr. 7 in Schkeuditz – postcode is 04435, BTW. 15 Smart Form Filler (TS code & LLM)
16. 'Talk to your systems' Integrating Gen AI into your architectures with structured LLM output TALK TO YOUR SYSTEMS RECAP 16
17. § Human language enables new powerful use cases & access to our software § Always use structured output § Structured output is the secret sauce for integrating LLMs into your application architectures § Consider applying the Maybe pattern § Brings more robustness § Function Calling can be flaky § Especially with smaller models § Do not use frameworks that ‘auto-magically’ map Function Calling results to local code § Always validate return data! § Instructor is a helpful library to boost LLM use cases § Implements lots of best practices § Supports any LLM / SLM § Integrates with FastAPI 'Talk to your systems' Integrating Gen AI into your architectures with structured LLM output Recap & Recommendations 17
