The LLM and Prompt Engineering Approach

This article is a follow-up to my previous piece, “How To Build A Chatbot That Understands Conditional Statements: The Computational Linguistics Approach”, where we learned how to walk a dependency tree to “understand” conditional statements. This time, we’re taking a different route.
We will see how to build a solution that leverages prompt engineering and large language models (LLMs). The code for this article can be found in this repository.
Here’s a quick recap of the problem we want to solve:
Given a command like:
lock the doors when nobody is home
We want to extract a condition and action , which in this case… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
