Build a real-world generative AI app using LangChain, RAG, and vector databases. Gain hands-on skills to boost your AI career and impress in interviews.
Generative AI is reshaping how organizations create intelligent applications, from automating customer support to enhancing knowledge management. With the rising demand for AI-driven solutions, professionals who can build real-world applications using frameworks like LangChain and methods such as retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) are in high demand.
In this intermediate-level course, you will develop practical skills for building AI applications with LangChain and IBM watsonx. You will learn strategies for document loading and text splitting, explore embedding documents with watsonx, and use LangChain to fetch and manage documents from multiple sources.
As you progress through the course, you will implement RAG to improve model responsiveness, set up vector databases for storing embeddings, and build a question-answering bot that retrieves information directly from loaded documents. Plus, you will work on practical labs and projects that will give you the opportunity to apply these skills in practice.
For individuals looking to advance their careers with practical experience in building AI applications, this course provides a strong foundation in working with RAG and LangChain.
This course comprises three purposely designed modules that take you on a carefully defined learning journey.
It is a self-paced course, which means it is not run to a fixed schedule with regard to completing modules. It is anticipated that you will complete the course in 9 hours. However, as long as the course is completed by the end of your enrollment, you can work at your own pace. And dont worry, youre not alone! You will be encouraged to stay connected with your learning community through the course discussion space.
The materials for each module are accessible from the start of the course and will remain available for the duration of your enrollment. Methods of learning and assessment will include discussion space, videos, reading material, quizzes, hands-on labs, quizzes and final assignment.
Once you have successfully completed the course, you will earn your IBM Certificate.
