Efficient Information Retrieval – Part IV

Do you spend a lot of time every day researching, documenting and summarising? Modern RAG systems are more than just question-and-answer systems – they can actively support you in completing tasks.

In part IV of the workshop series, you will learn how to use agentic RAG systems as productive, local and secure AI assistants. These systems combine knowledge access with the ability to execute specific tasks: from document updates to workflow support.

Key topics:

· Architecture of agentic RAG systems

· Tools for agentic actions (file operations, search, planning, extraction etc.)

· Combining retrieval, reasoning, and action (“RAG + Agent”)

· Error control and safety for agents (guardrails, policy layers)

· Example use cases: document generators, research assistants, workflow automation

In the workshop, you will configure a RAG agent, define tools, and test realistic office workflows.

👉 Part IV concludes the workshops series and shows how RAG prototypes can be turned into productive AI assistants.
After the workshop, you will understand how such systems can be used productively in organisations.

Requirements:
Participation in Parts I–III of the workshop series
or equivalent experience with programming and RAG systems.
