🕒 19:40–20:10
🏷️ Labels: Mit License, Promptflow, Sdk Development, Ai Functions, Python
📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to explore the legal and strategic framework for reusing MIT-licensed PromptFlow code in proprietary software development.

Key Activities

  • Legal Strategy Framework: Discussed compliance with MIT licensing requirements and strategies for integrating core functionalities into proprietary software.
  • License Implications: Clarified that using MIT-licensed code does not necessitate open-sourcing the entire proprietary codebase and provided a structured approach for code organization.
  • SDK Development Strategy: Proposed building a wrapper SDK around Microsoft PromptFlow, focusing on execution and semantic interface differentiation.
  • AI Function Registry: Planned the creation of a dynamic AI function registry in Python, leveraging prompt specifications for seamless integration.
  • AI Blocks as Python Functions: Outlined a guide for creating reusable AI functionalities in Python, detailing necessary components and architecture.
  • AI Development Architecture: Defined a strategic plan for a lightweight development layer on PromptFlow, including components and implementation roadmap.
  • Callable Prompt Blocks Analysis: Reflected on the design and performance tradeoffs of implementing callable prompt blocks as Python functions.

Achievements

  • Established a comprehensive legal and strategic framework for MIT-licensed code reuse.
  • Developed a clear plan for SDK and AI function registry development.

Pending Tasks

  • Further exploration of innovative features for the SDK to enhance user experience.
  • Detailed design and prototyping of the AI function registry.
