Key Takeaways
By participating along with us in the workshop, you'll learn:
- Learn how to integrate OpenAI GPT API into your project.
- Understand how to implement tool calling to execute dynamic actions.
- Master structured outputs for both decision-making and UI generation.
- Learn how to handle messaging and conversation history with LLM.
- Explore optimization techniques for faster and more efficient agent behavior.
Is This Workshop for Me?
This course is perfect for developers familiar with Node.js and APIs, who want to learn how to build AI agents leveraging the OpenAI GPT API and related technologies. The course will also include a section on using structured outputs for generating dynamic UI elements, a useful skill for developers looking to bridge backend AI capabilities with UI components.
Workshop Details
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn how to build a fully functional AI agent from scratch using the OpenAI GPT API. The focus will be on the backend, with TypeScript as the primary language. We will explore agent design, tool calling, structured outputs, conversation management, and performance optimization. Additionally, you will learn how to generate UI components using structured outputs. By the end of the course, you’ll have a working AI agent that can handle various tasks using GPT.
Any Prerequisites?
- Node.js
- Comfortable with JavaScript/TypeScript
- Basic knowledge of APIs
- OpenAI API account setup
