RAG Pipeline Workshop · Live · April 25

The RAG Pipeline Workshop That Builds Production-Grade Retrieval

Basic RAG is easy. High-fidelity RAG that retrieves accurately, cites sources, prevents hallucination, and works at scale is hard. This live 6-hour workshop teaches you to build production-grade RAG pipelines as part of a complete multi-agent context engineering system.

About This Workshop

Why High-Fidelity RAG Pipelines Require Context Engineering

A basic RAG pipeline retrieves chunks and passes them to an LLM. A high-fidelity RAG pipeline manages context windows carefully, cites sources, validates retrieval quality, handles memory across turns, and prevents hallucination — the difference between a prototype and a production system.

🔹

What is Context Engineering?

Context engineering is the discipline of designing AI systems that provide the right information, tools, and context to LLMs at the right time — replacing brittle prompts with reliable, scalable production AI architectures.

🤖

What are Multi-Agent Systems?

Multi-agent systems are AI architectures where specialised agents collaborate to accomplish complex tasks. This workshop shows you how to orchestrate them reliably using the Model Context Protocol and semantic blueprints.

🔗

What is the Model Context Protocol?

MCP is Anthropic's open standard for connecting AI models to tools, data sources, and other agents. This workshop teaches you to use MCP for building orchestrated multi-agent workflows that are transparent and controllable.

🎯

Why Attend as a Live Workshop?

Context engineering and multi-agent systems have almost no quality hands-on resources. This 6-hour live workshop gives you a complete guided build with a bestselling AI author answering your questions throughout.

Workshop Curriculum

What This RAG Pipeline Workshop Covers

Six modules. Six hours. A production-ready context engine by the time you finish.

01

Semantic Blueprints

Design structured context that gives AI agents precise, goal-driven contextual awareness beyond simple prompting.

02

Multi-Agent Orchestration With MCP

Orchestrate specialised agents using the Model Context Protocol for adaptable, context-rich reasoning workflows.

03

High-Fidelity RAG Pipelines

Engineer retrieval-augmented generation pipelines with citations, memory, and safeguards against hallucination.

04

Memory Engineering

Design AI memory systems that maintain context across long conversations and complex multi-step workflows.

05

Safeguards and Trust

Implement moderation, data poisoning protection, prompt injection prevention, and trust mechanisms for production AI.

06

Glass-Box Context Engine

Build a transparent, traceable Context Engine that gives you complete visibility and control over your AI system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions About Building Production RAG Pipelines

Common questions about the workshop, what to expect, and how to prepare.

What is the difference between basic RAG and high-fidelity RAG? +

Basic RAG retrieves text chunks and passes them to an LLM hoping for a good answer. High-fidelity RAG manages context windows to avoid overflow, validates retrieval relevance, cites specific sources for every claim, handles multi-turn memory across conversations, and includes safeguards to detect and prevent hallucination. This workshop builds the high-fidelity version.

Why do RAG pipelines hallucinate and how does this workshop prevent it? +

RAG pipelines hallucinate when retrieved context is irrelevant, when the LLM ignores retrieved context and relies on training data instead, or when context windows overflow causing the model to lose track of retrieved information. This workshop covers hallucination detection, relevance validation, context window management, and citation verification to prevent these failure modes.

What will my RAG pipeline retrieve from in this workshop? +

The workshop covers RAG pipeline architecture that works with any knowledge source — documents, databases, APIs, or structured data. The instructor focuses on the architectural patterns and context engineering principles that make RAG reliable, and demonstrates with concrete examples you can adapt to your own knowledge sources.

How does memory engineering improve RAG pipeline performance? +

Memory engineering allows your RAG pipeline to maintain context across multiple conversation turns, building a richer picture of user intent and conversation history. This prevents the common failure mode of treating each query in isolation and enables more accurate, contextually appropriate retrieval.

Can I use the RAG pipeline from this workshop in my existing AI projects? +

Yes. The RAG pipeline architecture and context engineering patterns taught in this workshop are designed to be modular and reusable. The instructor covers how to adapt the pipeline for different use cases and integrate it with existing AI systems after the session.

Does this RAG pipeline workshop cover vector databases? +

Yes. The workshop covers the vector storage and retrieval components of RAG pipelines including embedding models, similarity search, and retrieval quality evaluation. The instructor covers both the technical implementation and the context engineering principles that determine what gets retrieved and how it is presented to the LLM.
