Design and build a smart AI chatbot that can interact with your private data, using advanced retrieval-augmented generation techniques.
In the tech industry, AI-driven solutions are becoming increasingly essential, with chatbots playing a crucial role in automating customer support, data retrieval, and personalized assistance across various sectors. In this Build Project, you will design and build an intelligent local AI chatbot that can understand and interact with your personal data using cutting-edge Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques. You will learn how to preprocess and index private data, integrate advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) models, and work with industry-standard tools. Through hands-on experience, you will gain the skills needed to create scalable, efficient AI systems that solve real-world challenges. By mastering these skills, you’ll be well-equipped for in-demand entry-level roles such as AI Developer, Data Analyst, or NLP Engineer, positioning you to thrive in today’s rapidly evolving tech industry.
