Tutorials¶
New to ParleML?
Start with Get started. It takes you from nothing to a trained, explained model in about 30 minutes, and every tutorial here assumes you've seen it.
Each tutorial follows one complete piece of work on an included sample, with screenshots from a recorded run. The recorded numbers are what that run produced; yours can differ slightly, especially with an agent.
| Tutorial | What you'll learn | Time | How |
|---|---|---|---|
| Customer churn with an agent | Give an agent a bounded task, answer its question, and inspect one baseline and its drivers | 30 min | Agent |
| Build a claims review queue | Steer an agent from a business question to a review queue: text fields, three decisions, clusters, rules, a local scoring demo and a staffing trade-off | 2 h | Agent |
| Steer an agent through a segmentation | Put a stop rule in the brief, see the agent re-check your answer, and challenge its method with a follow-up | 45 min | Agent |
| Forecast retail sales by hand | Check forecastability, race statistical models, add promotions as a driver, explain why it wins, register it | 45 min | By hand |
| Next best product for telecom customers | Judge a recommender and a ranker against popularity, catch a weak sub-model, trade accuracy for coverage | 30 min | By hand |
| Segment customers and review unusual payments | Cluster with automatic k, check against held-out personas, rank payments with three detectors, pick a threshold | 30 min | By hand |
| Take a forecast from review to production | An agent challenges the model and asks for approval with conditions; you answer and move it to Production | 30 min | Agent review, your approval |
| Try a local agent on a laptop | Connect Codex or Claude Code to a small Ollama model, check it end to end, and see its limits | 20 min | Agent (local model) |
The agent tutorials need an agent signed in (Run ParleML, step 3). The by-hand tutorials need only ParleML running.
Details: which tutorials build on each other
- Take a forecast from review to production starts from the model you register at the end of Forecast retail sales by hand.
- Steer an agent through a segmentation compares its result with Part 1 of Segment customers and review unusual payments.
- Try a local agent on a laptop is a setup exercise, separate from the recorded workflows.
For one job at a time, such as single sign-on or scoring a new file, see the how-to guides. For component examples, see the ML4 examples, the MLI examples and the agent cookbook.
