How 2 Manning books explain it

Grokking AI Applications

A testing environment for interacting with an AI application and observing its results during development.

How it is used
Supports interactive testing, comparison, iteration, and debugging while developing a GenAI application.
How deep it goes
Demonstrates real-time interaction and memory comparisons, but does not descend into implementation internals.
Examples
Uses a pirate chatbot and memory toggles to demonstrate conversational testing and user-experience comparison.
What you can do after
Operate/configure a GenAI flow, test conversations, compare component behavior, and debug through rapid interactive iteration.

The Complete Obsolete Guide to Generative AI

A web-based interface for experimenting with OpenAI language models, prompts, and generation settings.

How it is used
Supports prompt experimentation, model configuration, and transition from interactive testing to API-driven automation.
How deep it goes
Demonstrates one-exchange prompting, configuration controls, and generated Python, while leaving detailed code mechanics unexplained.
Examples
Uses prompt entry, model selection, configuration experiments, and View Code-generated Python as practical examples.
What you can do after
Apply it via the Playground, then copy configured Python code for API execution and automation.
