[Good First Issue]: Replicate Existing Cookbooks and Create New Examples - #5

[ijindal1]

For context, see: CONTRIBUTING.md and cookbooks/README.md

Overview

We're looking for contributors to help expand our collection of Jupyter notebooks (cookbooks) that demonstrate various AI and automation tasks using Julep's features. This is a great opportunity for newcomers to get familiar with Julep and contribute to the project!

Objectives

1. Replicate existing cookbooks to ensure they're up-to-date and functioning correctly.
2. Create new cookbooks based on the ideas listed in the cookbooks/README.md file.

Tasks

1. Replicating Existing Cookbooks

• Choose one or more of the existing cookbooks from the list in cookbooks/README.md.
• Follow the instructions in the notebook to run it in Google Colab.
• Verify that all cells execute without errors and produce the expected outputs.
• If you encounter any issues or outdated information, document them for updating.

2. Creating New Cookbooks

• Select an idea from the "Potential Cookbooks for Contributors" section in cookbooks/README.md.
• Create a new Jupyter notebook following the structure of existing cookbooks.
• Implement the chosen use case using Julep's features.
• Ensure your notebook includes:
  • A clear introduction and overview of the task
  • Step-by-step implementation with explanations
  • Proper error handling and user guidance
  • A conclusion summarizing the key learnings

Guidelines for Creating New Cookbooks

1. Naming Convention: Name your notebook following the pattern XX-Descriptive_Name.ipynb, where XX is the next available number in the sequence.

2. Structure:

   • Start with an introduction explaining the purpose of the cookbook.
   • Include a cell for installing the Julep client.
   • Create sections for each major step (e.g., Creating an Agent, Defining a Task, Creating an Execution).
   • Add markdown cells to explain concepts and code.

3. Code Quality:

   • Ensure your code is well-commented and follows PEP 8 style guidelines.
   • Use meaningful variable names.
   • Handle potential errors gracefully.

4. Documentation:

   • Explain each step clearly, assuming the reader is new to Julep.
   • Include links to relevant Julep documentation where appropriate.

5. Testing:

   • Test your notebook thoroughly in Google Colab to ensure it runs without errors.
   • Include sample outputs where relevant.

6. Update README.md:

   • Add your new cookbook to the table in cookbooks/README.md.
   • Include a brief description and mark it as implemented.

How to Contribute

1. Fork the repository.
2. Create a new branch for your cookbook (e.g., cookbook/weather-notification-service).
3. Develop your cookbook following the guidelines above.
4. Test your notebook thoroughly.
5. Commit your changes and push to your fork.
6. Open a pull request with a clear description of your contribution.
