Join us on Wednesday, 02.10.2024 for the PyData Meetup October 2024 , the meet up will be held in Base42, a local hackerspace in Skopje.

Talk: RAG-ing Ahead: GenAI Next-Gen Considerations

Ready to level up your GenAI game? Join us for a dive into the cutting edge of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and beyond! We're kicking things off with a journey from basic RAG to Intelligent RAG, throwing humans into the mix with some slick prompt engineering magic. But that's just the warmup. Get ready for two mind-blowing use cases that'll make you rethink what's possible. Turning natural language into SQL? Yeah, we're doing that. Agentic RAG solutions with AI agents? Buckle up, it's gonna be fun. And because we're not just dreamers, we're wrapping it all up with a no-nonsense look at security. You know, so you can use this stuff without getting 'hacked'. Four tech wizards, one stage, zero fluff. Whether you're a GenAI newbie or a seasoned pro, this is your place to be. Don't miss out on the RAG revolution!

Come for the RAG, stay for the RAG-e - where Retrieval meets Renaissance, and your AI gets an attitude adjustment!
