AI Architecture Patterns
7 patterns · When to use each · Common pitfalls · July 2026
Basic Prompt Engineering
LowSimple Q&A, text transformation, classification, summarization. No external data needed. Fastest to ship.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
MediumQ&A over company documents, knowledge bases, or any proprietary content. Prevents hallucination on factual queries.
Tool Use / Function Calling
MediumLLM needs to interact with external systems: search the web, query a database, call an API, execute code.
Agentic Loop (ReAct)
HighMulti-step tasks where the next action depends on previous results. The LLM acts as a planner and executor.
Multi-Agent System
HighParallel subtasks, specialization, or peer-review between agents. Scale beyond single-agent context limits.
Fine-tuned Model
HighConsistent domain-specific behavior at scale. Style, format, or domain knowledge the base model lacks. High-volume inference where prompt size matters for cost.
Guardrails & Safety Layer
MediumAny production deployment. Add input/output validation to prevent prompt injection, PII leakage, and off-topic responses.
