Generative AI Application Integration Patterns
Description
Unleash the transformative potential of GenAI with this comprehensive guide that serves as an indispensable roadmap for integrating large language models into real-world applications. Gain invaluable insights into identifying compelling use cases, leveraging state-of-the-art models effectively, deploying these models into your applications at scale, and navigating ethical considerations.
Key Features:
- Get familiar with the most important tools and concepts used in real scenarios to design GenAI apps
- Interact with GenAI models to tailor model behavior to minimize hallucinations
- Get acquainted with a variety of strategies and an easy to follow 4 step frameworks for integrating GenAI into applications
Book Description:
Explore the transformative potential of GenAI in the application development lifecycle. Through concrete examples, you will go through the process of ideation and integration, understanding the tradeoffs and the decision points when integrating GenAI.
With recent advances in models like Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, DALL-E and GPT-4o, this timely resource helps readers harness these technologies through proven design patterns.
We then delve into the practical applications of GenAI, identifying common use cases and applying design patterns to address real-world challenges. From summarization and metadata extraction to intent classification and question answering, each chapter offers practical examples and blueprints for leveraging GenAI across diverse domains and tasks. Readers will learn how to fine-tune models for specific applications, progressing from basic prompting to sophisticated strategies such as retrieval augmented generation (RAG) and chain of thought.
Additionally, the authors provide end-to-end guidance on operationalizing models, including data prep, training, deployment, and monitoring. We also focus on responsible and ethical development. Techniques for transparency, auditing, and governance as crucial design patterns.
What You Will Learn:
- Concepts of GenAI: pre-training, fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)
- Framework for integrating AI, entry points, prompt pre-processing, inference, post-processing, and presentation
- Patterns for batch and real-time integration
- Code samples for metadata extraction, summarization, intent classification, question-answering with RAG, and more
- Ethical use: bias mitigation, data privacy, and monitoring
- Deployment and hosting options for GenAI models

Shipping & Processing
This item is in stock with our supplier and usually ships within 3–5 business days.
Processing times
- In stock: Items marked “In Stock” are on our shelves. We pick, pack and ship them within 1–2 business days.
- In stock with our supplier: Items not marked “In Stock” are held by one of our Australian or overseas suppliers. We order them in for you and they usually dispatch within 2–5 business days (3–5 for some suppliers). The estimate next to the price is for this item.
- Special orders: Some supplier items, such as specialist and imported items, titles awaiting reprint and print-on-demand titles, take longer to arrive. If your order includes one, we’ll update you as soon as we hear from our supplier.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
How accurate is availability?
Availability is based on the stock levels our suppliers tell us they hold, and we update it regularly. If a supplier issue affects your order, we’ll let you know with an updated estimate.
Delivery
- As soon as your order ships you’ll get an email with tracking.
- Australia Post usually delivers within 2–10 business days of shipping (around 4 in metro areas and around 6 in regional areas).
- If your order has more than one item, we hold the in-stock items until everything is ready, so we can ship your whole order together in one parcel.
- Shipping cost: Free on orders over $100 within Australia, otherwise $9.95 flat rate per order however many items you buy. Free shipping applies to Australian addresses only; delivery to New Zealand is $14.95 per order.
- Check your address: If an order goes to an incorrect address you gave us, or isn’t collected and Australia Post returns it to us, you’ll need to pay the postage to send it again.
Cancellations
Need to change or cancel an order? Contact us as soon as possible at contact@bookloop.com.au or through our contact page.
- Within 30 minutes: You can change or cancel your order for a full refund within 30 minutes of placing it.
- After 30 minutes: Your order is already being processed, so it can no longer be changed or cancelled. If we can accept a late cancellation, we may offer store credit instead of a refund.
- Items in transit: Once an item is on its way, either from our supplier to us or from us to you, it can’t be cancelled. If you no longer want it once it arrives, you can return it as a change of mind, with return postage at your cost. See Returns.
- Separate orders can’t be combined once they’ve been placed, and adding or swapping items can change the delivery estimate.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
