Workshop: Introduction to RAG

Bring your laptop and join us for a hands-on workshop on Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) enhances LLMs by grounding them in external sources of knowledge. When you submit a query, RAG retrieves relevant information in real time and feeds it directly to the LLM as context for a more accurate response.

In this workshop, we will:

• Walk through the core concepts of RAG (15 mins) • See how it works through a demo (15 mins) • Build your RAG application with Foundry Local (1 hour)

Please come prepared with:

• A laptop • Internet access (hotspot or ethernet cable) • VS Code with [C# Dev Kit](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-dotnettools.csdevkit) extension • [.NET 10.0 SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/10.0) installed • [Foundry Local](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/foundry-local/reference/reference-cli) installed
