Episode notes
Improved LLM Interactions
- Automate back-and-forth communication with LLMs to improve task completion.
- Chain calls together, refine responses, and correct previous answers for better results.
LangGraph's Power
- LangGraph orchestrates LLM workflows, enabling graph-based chaining and decisions.
- It allows for routing, fan-out/fan-in patterns and more complex interactions.
Elixir for LLM Agents
- Elixir's OTP primitives, like GenServers, offer structured contracts for LLM agents.
- Agents can access memory, communicate, and organize, enabling complex agentic workflows.
