LLM Application Engineering

Build production LLM workflows with prompt, tool, evaluation, latency, cost and fallback controls.

When to consider LLM Application Engineering

You need help to build production LLM workflows with prompt, tool, evaluation, latency, cost and fallback controls.
Data, permissions and human review need to be designed before production use.
A prototype must become an observable, maintainable operating system.
Model quality must be measured against business acceptance criteria, not demos.
