Artificial intelligence is bombarding us from every direction in the news and on social media. One of the sensible immediate applications of AI is RAG, at least that's what they say—for instance, Thoughtworks discusses it in their Technology Radars. But what exactly is this RAG, how do you install or implement it, what are its requirements, is it always necessary, and is it generally worth it? Join my talk to find answers to these questions (and a few others), delivered through working code snippets!
