Join us as we dive into the world of AI-powered streaming text and chat UIs using TypeScript and Python. 

Large Language Models (LLMs) are revolutionizing various industries, but creating simple demos in notebooks or with tools like Gradio is not enough. To truly harness the potential of these models, we need to build sophisticated, real-world applications.

Our comprehensive course is structured into six detailed modules where you will:
- Develop a dynamic front-end with React.
- Integrate FastAPI with LangChain to create a robust backend.
- Utilize Server-Sent Events (SSE) for seamless real-time data streaming.

This comprehensive course comes packed with valuable extras:
- The complete source code under MIT licence
- Exclusive access to our community forum
- Detailed exploration of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for enhancing model responses
- Hands-on experience with developing intelligent agents capable of maintaining context in conversations

Taught by [Louis Sanna](https://www.linkedin.com/in/louis-sanna-0168363a/), a seasoned Tech Lead with expertise in GenAI applications and digital transformation projects for major organizations like UNESCO and Renault. His deep industry insights and practical experience will guide you from basics to advanced implementations.

Streamline AI Communication with TypeScript and Python

Large Language Models are reshaping industries, yet integrating them into real-time, streaming UIs presents unique challenges. In this course we build AI-powered streaming text and chat UIs with TypeScript and Python. Go step-by-step through building a full-stack AI application with quality code and very flexible implementation.

It includes:
- a completion use-case (english to emojis)
- a Chat
- a Retrieval Augmented Generation use-case
- Agent Use-Cases (code execution, data-Analyste agent)

This app can be used as a starting point in most projects, saving a huge amount of time, and its flexibilty allows new tools to be added as needed.

What problems Retrieval Augmented Generation can solve

In this lesson we'll deepen our understanding of how to make our chat applications smarter by integrating retrieval-augmented generation. 

Previously, we set up a basic chatbot using a FastAPI, LangChain and Server-Sent Events. We also built a semantic index using the IPCC report. This time, we're going to use that indexed information dynamically during our chat sessions.

We use our previous implementation as as starting point. When our chat receives a query that may need external information (like data from the IPCC report), the system performs the following steps:

# Adding Retrieval-Augmented Generation to the chat

In this lesson we'll deepen our understanding of how to make our chat applications smarter by integrating retrieval-augmented generation. 

Previously, we set up a basic chatbot using a FastAPI, LangChain and Server-Sent Events. We also built a semantic index using the IPCC report. This time, we're going to use that indexed information dynamically during our chat sessions.

We use our previous implementation as as starting point. When our chat receives a query that may need external information (like data from the IPCC report), the system performs the following steps:

1.  **Initial Query to Model**:

    -   We use our `ChatOpenAI` instance to determine if the user's question relates to the IPCC report.
    -   If so, the model is prompted to construct a query to retrieve relevant information.
2.  **Fetching Data**:

    -   Our system fetches the relevant data using the query provided by the model.
    -   This step involves making a semantic search over the index.
3.  **Integration into Chat**:

    -   The retrieved data is then formatted (using YAML for better comprehension by the ChatGPT model) and added to the ongoing chat context as a `function` message.
    -   This allows the model to use this context to generate more informed and accurate responses.
