Everything you need to know about Retrieval Augmented Generation in one human-friendly guide.

Augmented Generation (or RAG) enhances an LLM’s available data by adding context from an external knowledge base, so it can answer accurately about proprietary content, recent information, and even live conversations. RAG is powerful, and with A Simple Guide to Retrieval Augmented Generation, it’s also easy to understand and implement!

In A Simple Guide to Retrieval Augmented Generation you’ll learn:

The components of a RAG system

How to create a RAG knowledge base

The indexing and generation pipeline

Evaluating a RAG system

Advanced RAG strategies

RAG tools, technologies, and frameworks

A Simple Guide to Retrieval Augmented Generation gives an easy, yet comprehensive, introduction to RAG for AI beginners. You’ll go from basic RAG that uses indexing and generation pipelines, to modular RAG and multimodal data from images, spreadsheets, and more.

About the Book

A Simple Guide to Retrieval Augmented Generation is a plain-English guide to RAG. The book is easy to follow and packed with realistic Python code examples. It takes you concept-by-concept from your first steps with RAG to advanced approaches, exploring how tools like LangChain and Python libraries make RAG easy. And to make sure you really understand how RAG works, you’ll build a complete system yourself, even if you’re new to AI!
