AI Tutorials

Hands-on, code-first walkthroughs for building real products with AI.

What a tutorial here looks like

Tutorials are step-by-step and implementation-focused: a clear goal, the prerequisites, the code, and an honest note on what breaks in production. Where a walkthrough depends on a specific model, framework or pricing tier, we say so, because those change quickly.

Areas we cover

  • Calling LLM APIs safely from a server, including keys, retries and rate limits.
  • Retrieval pipelines: chunking, embeddings, vector search and evaluation.
  • Agents and tool calling — structuring prompts, validating output, handling failure.
  • Cost and latency control: caching, smaller models, batching and streaming.
  • Shipping: observability, prompt versioning and regression testing.

Before you start building

Pick your stack first. The tools directory lists assistants, builders and automation platforms by category, and AI guides explain the concepts behind them. For releases that affect what you build on, follow AI news.
