Session Goal
The session aimed to explore and leverage Microsoft PromptFlow for enhanced AI development, focusing on observability, orchestration, and modular architecture.
Key Activities
- Explored PromptFlow’s Infrastructure: Discussed how to utilize PromptFlow’s existing infrastructure for run tracking and execution without duplicating capabilities.
- Analyzed Microsoft PromptFlow Features: Reviewed key features such as execution contexts, type-hint wrappers, and configuration classes.
- Examined Schema System: Discussed foundational schema elements like
ValueType
,ConnectionType
, andToolType
for building modular architectures. - Drafted Core Components: Created a draft of core architecture components including decorators and a YAML-to-PromptFlow compiler.
- Integrated Contracts: Explored how contracts can enhance the strategic layer of a lightweight architecture.
- Maximized Leverage with FlowExecutor: Provided a technical breakdown of utilizing PromptFlow’s FlowExecutor effectively.
- Bi-Directional Authoring: Outlined the concept using Python functions and YAML flows.
- Defined New Authoring Paradigm: Compared a new tool, FlowPower, to React’s impact on UI development.
Achievements
- Developed a comprehensive understanding of PromptFlow’s capabilities and strategic leverage points.
- Drafted a lightweight architecture strategy for AI development using PromptFlow.
Pending Tasks
- Implement the drafted architecture components into a working prototype.
- Further explore bi-directional authoring to enhance developer flexibility.
