Build a Custom Chatbot with LLMs + RAG | Workshop

Agenda

• 5:30–6:00pm: Arrival and Networking
• 6:00–7:00pm: Workshop: Build a Custom Chatbot with LLMs + RAG
• 7:00–7:30pm: Questions & Networking

Note: This is an in-person workshop in the Seattle / Bellevue area.

Most modern chatbots today use Large Language Models(LLMs), Retrieval Augmented Generation(RAG), and scalable workflows to create a unique conversational experience!

This workshop will equip you with the skills to effectively build your own chatbot and scalable AI workflows for LLMs using and union.ai

The Modern MLOps tooling will also provide a reliable framework for your machine learning operations by streamlining processes, increasing efficiency, and adding reproducibility to your AI applications.

This workshop will cover

• Using LLMs
• Building RAG system for information retrieval
• Prompt engineering
• Creating scalable workflows using Union.ai (powered by Flyte)
  

What you’ll need to follow along

• A free Union.ai account (Link provided at workshop)
• A GitHub account
  

Who should attend

Anyone interested in building custom chatbots with LLMs and best MLOps practices should attend. This workshop is designed to be approachable for most skill levels. Familiarity with machine learning and Python is strongly encouraged but not required.

By the end of this workshop, you'll be able to build a custom chatbot using LLMs, RAG, and scalable AI workflows for large language models (LLMs).
