DESCRIPTION:Take all of the documentation and throw it into the database an
 d we're done\, right? Not so fast.\n\nLarge language models (LLMs) don't k
 now everything and retrieval-augmented generation\, or RAG\, fills in the 
 knowledge gaps with just-in-time retrieval of data from a database. Techni
 cal limitations and challenges loom large here\, but there are plenty of d
 ifficulties brought over from the world of humans into the world of LLMs.\
 n\nCome on a RAG journey with me as I recount some of the roadblocks my te
 am faced as we built a product with RAG as a core component. Learn about t
 he available technologies\, how to build out a RAG stack\, and how to avoi
 d bringing human complexity into an already complex technical system.
