Description
Learn to build a comprehensive full-stack
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) application
from scratch using cutting-edge technologies like
FastAPI, Weaviate, DSPy, and React
. In this hands-on course, you will master the process of developing a robust backend with FastAPI, handling document uploads and parsing with DSPy, and managing vector data storage using Weaviate. You'll also create a responsive React frontend to provide users with an interactive interface. By the end of the course, you'll have the practical skills to develop and deploy AI-powered applications that leverage retrieval-augmented generation techniques for smarter data handling and response generation.
