Course Description
In today's era of applied AI, expectations for the speed, scale, and accuracy of information access have never been higher. Organizations want to enrich large language models (LLMs) with their own enterprise data to both improve response quality and produce reliable, citable outputs. This fast-paced 3-hour "Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with LangChain Workshop" offers participants a blend of theory and practice for standing up a RAG architecture from scratch.
The workshop covers the core concepts of RAG, how to orchestrate components with LangChain, and aims to build a live, working document-based chatbot by the end of the session. Participants will experience the end-to-end document processing, embedding, and vector search chain, directly observing the speed, cost, and traceability advantages that RAG brings compared to long-context approaches.
Who Should Attend
Data scientists, MLOps engineers, software developers – those looking to build LLM-based applications
Technical leaders aiming to bring the practical benefits of RAG architecture to their organization
Professionals seeking tangible outputs in a short time through a learn-build-demo cycle
Delivering intensive learning within a focused timeframe, this workshop will rapidly advance participants on the RAG journey from "text to knowledge" and ensure you leave with a live-demoed project built on real data.
