Generative AI Design Patterns : Solutions to Common Challenges When Building Genai Agents and Applications

Generative AI enables powerful new capabilities, but they come with some serious limitations that you'll have to tackle to ship a reliable application or agent.

Luckily, experts in the field have compiled a library of 32 tried-and-true design patterns to address the challenges you're likely to encounter when building applications using LLMs, such as hallucinations, nondeterministic responses, and knowledge cutoffs. This book codifies research and real-world experience into advice you can incorporate into your projects.

Each pattern describes a problem, shows a proven way to solve it with a fully coded example, and discusses trade-offs. Design around the limitations of LLMsEnsure that generated content follows a specific style, tone, or formatMaximize creativity while balancing different types of riskBuild agents that plan, self-correct, take action, and collaborate with other agentsCompose patterns into agentic applications for a variety of use cases
