Workshop – Building Your First GenAI RAG Application: A Hands-On Introduction for Network Engineers
This two-hour instructor-led workshop is designed to provide network engineers with foundational skills in Generative AI Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) applications. Aligned with the AI Networking Summit’s mission to empower enterprises through innovative AI technologies, this session offers a practical introduction to integrating AI-driven insights directly within network engineering contexts. Participants will explore key RAG concepts, understand their application in enhancing network operations, and work hands-on to build a basic RAG implementation. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a working prototype, bridging the gap between traditional networking and transformative GenAI capabilities to address the complex needs of scalable AI integration, data governance, and security.
