Autonomously communicate with users and optimize business tasks with applications built to make the interaction between humans and computers smooth and natural. Artificial Intelligence expert Francesco Esposito illustrates several scenarios for which a LLM is effective: crafting sophisticated business solutions, shortening the gap between humans and software-equipped machines, and building powerful reasoning engines. Insight into prompting and conversational programming―with specific techniques for patterns and frameworks―unlock how natural language can also lead to a new, advanced approach to coding. Concrete end-to-end demonstrations (featuring Python and ASP.NET Core) showcase versatile patterns of interaction between existing processes, APIs, data, and human input.
