Getting Started with Your First LangChain App
Creating Your App
Using LangForge, creating a new LangChain app is a breeze:
langforge create myapp
LangForge guides you through a straightforward setup process: it establishes a virtual environment, installs necessary packages, and configures API keys, delivering a solid foundation for your application.
Launching JupyterLab
Once your app is set up, you can launch JupyterLab to begin your work:
cd myapp
langforge lab
Your project is equipped with ready-to-use templates for diverse applications. Through JupyterLab, users can interact with their chains directly, choosing from templates such as the "Creative ChatGPT."
Developing Your LangChain Application
With the notebook open, execute the code by selecting Kernel > Restart Kernel and Run All Cells.... For instance, using the ChatGPT template, you can transform it into a narrative game, such as an old-school adventure game. To immerse yourself, open the chat window with a simple click.
Customizing the Experience
Feel free to modify the prompt according to your vision. For example, embark on a space-themed adventure by framing ChatGPT as 'AdventureGPT', set in the cosmos with intriguing roles and missions. By customizing the narrative, each user can craft distinctive and engaging user experiences.
Serving Your Application
LangForge excels by effortlessly generating a REST interface for your application, making the deployment and sharing processes intuitive. Once satisfied with your project's development, serve your app with:
