Skill IQ

This Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) path takes you from the core building blocks of grounded AI to running RAG systems in production. You’ll begin with embeddings, knowledge bases, and retrieval, then move on to tuning, evaluating, and structuring pipelines that stay accurate. From there, you’ll extend them to handle multiple languages, images, and sensitive data, and learn to deploy and maintain them at scale. Finish the path and you’ll be able to build, evaluate, and deploy reliable RAG applications for real projects.
