No Code Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): A Crash Course

Build a proof of concept in a few hours without writing any code

What you'll learn
- What is Retrieval Augmented Generation Search
- The 9 aspects of DIY RAG Search
- Why Discourse AI is the best option for non-programmers to learn RAG Search
- How to use Discourse AI to implement a proof of concept in a few hours without writing any code

Requirements
- No programming experience needed

Description
Recently I saw a post on an online forum which inspired this course:

"I personally work with many people who can’t really use any AI in their work (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, etc) because of privacy and other concerns. They also don’t have and can’t afford dedicated AI engineers to build a custom solution, nor are they technical individuals themselves. So I see a very large market gap here for small and medium businesses/organizations, where Discourse AI is the perfect solution."

Are you looking for an easy, no-code way to integrate AI into your workflows without breaking the bank or requiring technical expertise? This crash course is designed for professionals, small business owners, and educators who want to harness the power of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with minimal effort.

Using Discourse AI, this course will guide you through the basics of RAG—retrieving relevant information and generating intelligent summaries—using real-world examples based on YouTube video transcripts. With a hands-on approach, you’ll learn how to use Discourse AI for answering questions promptly based on your existing knowledge base.

This course focuses exclusively on practical, no-code techniques, ensuring that non-technical users can implement AI-driven workflows without worrying about complex setups or programming knowledge.

See how you can unleash the potential of RAG in just a few easy-to-follow lessons!

Note: this is intended to be a crash course which you can finish within an hour and I also expect most people will be able to get their RAG search up and running within a few hours. I do not plan to add more material to this course unless it is absolutely essential to explain the topic.If you are looking for in depth material, this is not the course for you.

Testimonials from non-programmers for my Dialogflow courses

These are testimonials for OTHER courses where people have mentioned that my courses are easy to follow for people who don't have a background in computer science or coding.

"I most definitely would recommend, and have recommended, Aravind’s Dialogflow courses to others

I bought several courses to learn about Dialogflow ES. I see the courses as an investment in my learning, as such I am more than willing to pay a reasonable price.

As someone who has no background in computer science or coding, but is purely self-taught, I was needing an easy-to-understand course for learning Dialogflow. Aravind’s delivery and explanation of how to work with Dialogflow propelled my understanding and speeded up my learning curve.

What I appreciate the most about Aravind’s courses is how he organizes his lessons. He starts at the beginning and works his way through the lessons that follow a more logical and natural pattern of learning, in this case for beginners.

"As a non programmer who works with programmers this course is perfect

The course is targeting programmers, but as a non programmer who works with programmers this course is perfect… it provides an overview,well explained concepts and frameworks, and not too technical to follow. As with all other courses on BotFlo, I find it easy to follow and understand.
