Generative AI for Beginners: Project-Based Guide to Building RAG Agents

A 22-lesson, project-driven curriculum on generative AI and LangChain agents, covering prompt engineering, vector embeddings, chain orchestration and building retrieval-augmented chat agents through hands-on examples.

Generative AI for Beginners: Project-Based Guide to Building RAG Agents

This curriculum teaches generative AI and retrieval-augmented generation through 22 lessons organized into stages: getting started with course setup and an introduction to LLMs, prompt engineering fundamentals and advanced prompting strategies, building chat, search and image applications, and later integrating function calling, designing UX for AI applications, securing AI applications and covering the AI application lifecycle.

Lessons combine explanation with hands-on examples aimed at beginners, working up to building intelligent retrieval-augmented chat agents with vector embeddings and chain orchestration, and covering low-code and no-code approaches alongside the code-based lessons.
