Workshop

Advanced RAG: Build AI That Knows Your Data

Your AI knows nothing about your data. Let's fix that.

About this workshop

Move past naive RAG and build retrieval systems that actually work. Covers hybrid search, reranking, chunking strategies, metadata filtering, and agentic RAG architectures using LlamaIndex and pgvector.

What you will learn

  • Implement hybrid BM25 + dense vector search and understand when to use each
  • Apply cross-encoder reranking to dramatically improve retrieval precision
  • Design chunking and metadata strategies for long documents and mixed content types
  • Build an agentic RAG pipeline that retrieves, reasons, and self-corrects

Who this is for

  • Engineers who have built a basic RAG pipeline and know it isn't good enough
  • AI teams building internal knowledge tools over proprietary document sets
  • Developers who want to understand retrieval architecture at a production level

By the end

Before

RAG pipelines that retrieve the wrong chunks and hallucinate

After

Hybrid search with reranking that surfaces the right context every time

Before

Treating retrieval as a black box you can't debug

After

Full control over chunking, metadata, and search strategy

Before

A prototype that works with 100 documents

After

An architecture that scales to millions in production
