LLMChaincan be replaced with a new functional chain constructRetrievalQAChaincan be replaced with a new functional chain constructPromptTemplatecan potentially be replaced with a ChatPromptTemplate combining HumanMessagePromptTemplate and SystemMessagePromptTemplate. This may be particularly important as the docs state System Chat Message should be followed more closely than a generic prompt, which should improve consistency in responses.See the LCEL cookbook for further code examples.
