With the rise of chatbots and voice assistants, there has been a lot of talk about the rise of conversational user interfaces (CUI). CUIs allow users to interact with a system using natural language. The most common CUIs are chatbots and voice assistants. CUIs are not new. They have been around for a long time.

After reading Andressen Horowitz’s article on LLM Architecture I decided to look into Langchain. Langchain describes itself as a framework for developing applications powered by language models.
