RAG: Ground AI in Your Own Data
Retrieval augmented generation makes AI answer from your documents, with sources, instead of guessing. You build a RAG pipeline, measure its answers and fix weak retrieval, and learn when RAG, long context or fine tuning fits best.

Live, on a video call in Eastern time, with time for your questions. Every session is also recorded, and you keep the recordings for 30 days.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Finish the class and its exercises and you get a Get In Tech certificate with a code employers can check online.
Can my employer pay?
Yes. We invoice companies directly, and for three or more people from one team we can run a private session.
