AI agents and retrieval-augmented generation
Learn how modern AI assistants connect to documents and knowledge sources, and how controlled agent workflows support real processes.
Four-week AZAV-approved course · potentially funded up to 100% · RAG, agents and company knowledge
General chat systems do not automatically know current internal policies, products or documents. RAG systems retrieve relevant sources before generating an answer.
Four-week curriculum
The content stays deliberately focused: understand, apply, review and transfer.
Understand model capabilities, context, prompting, tool use and common reliability limits.
Structure source content, metadata, ownership, update cycles and access requirements.
Understand embeddings, chunking, search, ranking, citations and answer generation.
Create representative test questions and assess retrieval quality, grounding and answer usefulness.
Model tasks, tools, permissions, checkpoints, failure modes and human approval steps.
Plan logging, access control, data protection, monitoring, updates and accountable ownership.
For roles that plan, coordinate or evaluate knowledge-based AI systems and workflows.
