We’ll start with the essential building blocks and then dive into workflow patterns for more reliable systems. To follow along, basic Python skills are recommended, along with familiarity with the OpenAI SDK and an API key. I highly recommend cloning the GitHub repository so you can work through the code step by step. Watch me go through it first, then try it yourself to reinforce your understanding. I move quickly to cover a lot in 45 minutes, but you can always pause, rewind, or ask ChatGPT for help. 👋🏻 About Me Hi! I'm Dave, AI Engineer and founder of Datalumina®.
