Summary
Chatbots powered by LLMs such as GPT-3/4 and Claude are transforming conversational AI and enabling more natural, human-like digital experiences. As demonstrated through the examples detailed in this chapter, these powerful generative models allow bots to truly understand natural language, hold free-flowing conversations with users, and complete sophisticated workflows from commerce transactions to personalized assessments.
The key to unlocking their capabilities is thoughtful prompt engineering. Developers can inject critical context, domain knowledge, business logic, data sources, and more into the prompts to shape the bot’s behavior. While interacting in the playground provides a glimpse of the potential, custom solutions built on LLM APIs open up many more possibilities.
These AI-powered chatbots maintain conversation state and memory, integrate with backend systems, optimize performance based on user interactions, and deploy seamlessly across platforms. They...
