Engineering AI Systems
Build production-ready AI systems with RAG pipelines, multi-agent orchestrations, and enterprise LLM integrations.
Quick Start13 / 15
Python# Basic RAG pipeline setup from langchain.vectorstores import Chroma from langchain.embeddings import OpenAIEmbeddings from langchain.text_splitter import RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter # Context-aware chunking for industrial reports splitter = RecursiveCharacterTextSplitter( chunk_size=1000, chunk_overlap=200, separators=["\n\n", "\n", "Shift:", "Equipment:", " ", ""] ) # Vector store with retrieval optimization vectorstore = Chroma( embedding_function=OpenAIEmbeddings(), collection_metadata={"hnsw:space": "cosine"} )
Recommendation▾
Add more concrete input/output examples showing the full system response, not just code snippets
Workflow14 / 15
-
Design Architecture
- Define agent responsibilities and communication patterns
- Establish data flow between components
- Plan token usage and latency requirements
-
Build RAG Foundation
- Implement context-aware document chunking
- Set up vector database with appropriate embeddings
- Create retrieval evaluation metrics (Hit Rate, MRR)
-
Orchestrate Agents
- Implement ReAct or Plan-and-Execute patterns
- Define JSON schemas for tool interactions
- Add episodic memory for recurring issues
-
Integrate Safety Measures
- Add prompt injection guards

- Safety measures in place
- Production optimized
Recommendation▾
Include specific template configurations for common industrial use cases (manufacturing, energy, etc.)
Examples18 / 20
Example 1: Industrial Query Processing Input: "Why did Fleet A have 20% more downtime than Fleet B last week?" Output:
Python# Agent breaks down into sub-queries queries = [ "Fleet A downtime events last week", "Fleet B downtime events last week", "Common failure patterns across fleets" ] # Retrieves relevant maintenance logs, compares patterns # Returns grounded analysis with specific equipment issues
Example 2: Multi-Agent Function Schema Input: Agent needs to query production data Output:
JSON{ "name": "query_production_metrics", "description": "Query production database for specific metrics", "parameters": { "type": "object", "properties": { "fleet_id": {"type": "string"}, "date_range": {"type": "object"}, "metric_types": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}} } } }
Recommendation▾
Provide actual evaluation metrics and thresholds (e.g., 'Hit Rate > 0.85, MRR > 0.7')
Best Practices
- Golden Path Retrieval: Ensure AI never hallucinates critical metrics like production tonnages
- Chunking Strategy: Use domain-specific separators (shift reports, equipment logs)
- Agent Memory: Implement episodic memory to track recurring equipment issues
- Cost Optimization: Use smaller models for routing, larger for complex reasoning
- Evaluation: Continuously measure retrieval precision with Hit Rate and MRR metrics
- Grounding: All outputs must reference specific data sources and timestamps
Common Pitfalls
- Don't use generic chunking strategies for technical documents
- Don't allow agents to modify database schemas directly
- Don't skip prompt injection testing in production systems
- Don't ignore token cost monitoring - industrial queries can be expensive
- Don't forget to validate "reasonableness" of production metrics before display
- Don't implement complex agent hierarchies without clear communication protocols
