Covers a concrete pipeline: uses OpenAI API (GPT-3.5/4) and LangChain in a Jupyter notebook on GitHub/Binder to classify app feedback by building a prompt template that returns JSON output and an index. Demonstrates it on 20 synthetic examples, shows token counting and cost math (~$0.004 for 20 items on GPT‑3.5), compares GPT‑4 quality versus cost, implements programmatic calls, warns about storing API keys, and shows a code‑execution demo that manipulates pandas — everything runs live in the notebook.
