Exploring how companies are applying AI in practice. See the slides at: contraption.co/archetypes-of-llm-apps/ In this presentation, Philip from Contraption Company discusses how startups are leveraging AI, specifically Large Language Models (LLMs), to innovate across various industries. The presentation, originally given to an innovation group at a large insurance company, covers foundational technologies like chat, embeddings, and semantic search, and progresses to basic applications such as code generation, SQL generation, and data labeling. Advanced applications like retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), agents, and swarms are also explored. The aim is to help businesses understand how to apply LLMs effectively, improving efficiency and decision-making in their operations. 00:00 Introduction and Overview 00:28 Archetypes of LLM Applications 02:16 Foundational Building Block Technologies 11:41 Basic Applications of LLMs 19:34 Advanced Applications of LLMs 24:59 Conclusion and Future Outlook
