Talk to AI Like a Pro: Prompt Systems in Production

A useful prototype is only the beginning. A production workflow needs tests, ownership, and a way to recover.

Part VI of Talk to AI Like a Pro examines the operating system around a prompt: interfaces and templates, evaluations and monitoring, cost and latency, versioning, and controlled releases.

Worked examples and exercises turn those topics into practical artifacts, from output contracts and test cases to cost calculations and release records. The book emphasizes observable behavior, bounded tools, reviewable changes, and the difference between a successful demonstration and evidence for deployment.

For builders, technical leads, and advanced readers responsible for maintaining AI-assisted workflows. Examples use fictional applications and clearly identified illustrative figures; readers should verify current provider capabilities and pricing before implementation.
