Why is this just not ETL, why do you need anything here? There is no new category or product needed here.

Just saw the video you shared on the other comment using prophecy, very cool

Generally I don’t care much about the embedding and retrieval and connectors etc for playing with the LLMs, I imagined much more robust tools were available already indeed, my focus was more on the prompt development actually, connecting many prompts together for a better chain of thought kinda of thing, working out the memory and stateful parts of it and so on, and I think there might be a case for an “LLM framework” for that, and also a case for a small lib to solve it instead of an ETL cannon

However, I am indeed not experienced with ETLs, have to play more with the available tools to see if and how can I do the things I was building using them

hmmm, just had a chat with GPT-4, it didn't seem convinced that ETLs would do well the same things that LiteChain is trying to achieve: https://chat.openai.com/share/88961bd1-8250-45f0-b814-0680ba...

I'd be happy to see some more examples of LLM application building on ETLs like the video you shared though

Totally! As a person driving a project like https://github.com/DAGWorks-Inc/hamilton I couldn't agree more!
