GenAI Learnathon: Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) 101
Join a live technical session to learn how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) works—by building one yourself.
Whether you’re a front-end dev, back-end architect, or tech leader exploring GenAI strategy, you’ll leave with tangible skills and fresh insights into applying GenAI in your workflows.

Who is this for?
- Developers (Front-end, Back-end, Full-stack): Build a basic RAG system from scratch. Get step-by-step guidance + hands-on coding challenges.
- Tech Leaders (CTOs, Heads of Engineering): See what it takes to integrate RAG into your stack. Understand the architecture and trade-offs.
- Curious with Technical Skills: Not ready to code? Follow along with the walkthrough and Q&A to level up your GenAI fluency.
What you'll learn
- The core components of RAG systems—what they do and how they interact
- How to build a working RAG pipeline using tools like Vercel and Cursor
- Where GenAI fits in modern development workflows—and how to spot opportunities for automation
Agenda
- 15 min: Setup & tutorial
- 45 min: Self-paced hands-on challenges increasing in complexity (beginner to advanced)
- 30 min: Live Q&A and 1:1 support from experienced tech leads that recently built an AI proof-of-concept for Nike

I’m not a developer, but I built and deployed a headless AI agent in a single day – at zero cost. In this guide, I’ll walk through my approach, the technologies I used, and how I integrated embeddings from our headless CMS for retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). I’ll also cover how I implemented an open-source AI governance tool to ensure accountability and monitoring.

Adopting a headless architecture enables businesses to launch AI-driven experiences faster – without requiring a complete overhaul of existing tech stacks. Industry leaders like Nike and Alaska Airlines use this approach to cut costs and deliver AI-powered customer experiences that set them apart.

A practical guide to using AI to curate product collections at scale, make product recommendation and search algorithms smarter with semantic awareness, and empower teams to deliver seamless customer experiences.
In this webinar, we talk about useful frameworks for companies thinking about deploying AI in their context and building products with it.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) can be daunting subjects. You might've heard about neural networks, generative adversarial networks (GANs), and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) but have no clue what people are talking about.

Enterprises often struggle with rigid, outdated front-end systems that drive up costs and hinder their ability to adapt to market demands. Here's what a modern, AI-ready tech stack looks like and how you can achieve AI readiness incrementally in complex enterprise environments.
