How-To Guides
=============

A chain is made up of links, which can be either primitives or other chains.
Primitives can be either `prompts <../prompts.html>`_, `llms <../llms.html>`_, `utils <../utils.html>`_, or other chains.
The examples here are all end-to-end chains for specific applications.
They are broken up into three categories:

1. `Generic Chains <generic_how_to.html>`_: Generic chains, that are meant to help build other chains rather than serve a particular purpose.
2. `CombineDocuments Chains <combine_docs_how_to.html>`_: Chains aimed at making it easy to work with documents (question answering, summarization, etc).
3. `Utility Chains <utility_how_to.html>`_: Chains consisting of an LLMChain interacting with a specific util.

Docs refactor (#480) Big docs refactor! Motivation is to make it easier for people to find resources they are looking for. To accomplish this, there are now three main sections: - Getting Started: steps for getting started, walking through most core functionality - Modules: these are different modules of functionality that langchain provides. Each part here has a "getting started", "how to", "key concepts" and "reference" section (except in a few select cases where it didnt easily fit). - Use Cases: this is to separate use cases (like summarization, question answering, evaluation, etc) from the modules, and provide a different entry point to the code base. There is also a full reference section, as well as extra resources (glossary, gallery, etc) Co-authored-by: Shreya Rajpal <ShreyaR@users.noreply.github.com> 2023-01-02 16:24:09 +00:00			`How-To Guides`
