Course overview
🧠 Masterclass in Agentic RAG & Multi-Agent Deployment
From Naive Bots to Production-Ready Agentic Systems
Welcome to the AI builder’s dojo — a technically rigorous, unapologetically hands-on course designed for builders ready to go beyond plug-and-play wrappers and start designing agent systems that reason, route, and adapt.
This is not a surface-level “course.” It’s a 10-week, live-led deep dive into autonomous systems:
7 instructor-led sessions · 7 interactive office hours · 1 epic Demo Day.
No fluff. No wrappers. Just agents that work.
🧠 Course Breakdown – What You'll Learn
1. Agentic RAG with Routers — Why Naive RAG Breaks
We begin by deconstructing naive RAG — systems that fail under multi-turn, context-rich queries. You’ll build your own agentic retrieval system with intelligent routers, reflection, memory, and reasoning — capable of tool invocation, multi-agent coordination, and smart chunk selection.
🔍 You’ll learn:
-Stateless vs. stateful RAG
-When cosine similarity fails
-Designing context-aware routing logic
-Reflection, ReAsk, and multi-hop search strategies
2. Hosting & Quantizing LLMs — Local + Runpod
Production-ready agents can’t always rely on OpenAI.
You’ll learn to quantize models (GPTQ, GGUF) for speed and cost-efficiency, and deploy them with Ollama locally and RunPod in the cloud, with tools like FastAPI and auto-scaling on demand.
🚀 You’ll learn:
-LLM quantization strategies (4-bit, GGML, QLoRA)
-On-device hosting via Ollama
-Deployment via RunPod or serverless GCP
-Streamed inference + latency benchmarking
3. Semantic Caching — Build It from Scratch
We’ll implement a semantic caching layer from scratch that recognizes similar queries, avoids unnecessary calls to the model, and improves performance over time using vector proximity and feedback loops.
💡 You’ll build:
Feedback loop to train your cache
Cache hit/miss architecture
Semantic distance functions + reranking
Cost-saving and latency benchmarks
4. Knowledge Graphs from Scratch — Text-to-Cypher
Go beyond flat retrieval with structured reasoning using Knowledge Graphs. You’ll implement a graph-based memory layer with Cypher generation from natural language, and use DSPy to guide model outputs toward your schema.
🌐 You’ll learn:
Graph modeling for agent memory
Extracting entities + relations from unstructured text
Generating Cypher queries from prompts
Integrating Neo4j or Memgraph with RAG
5. ReAct Agents — Python & No-Code with n8n
We’ll go deep into ReAct (Reason + Act) — one of the most powerful agent paradigms — and then rebuild it using both Python and no-code tools like n8n. Perfect for teams and workflows where technical + non-technical builders collaborate.
🔧 You’ll build:
Modular ReAct pipelines (tool use, planning, reflection)
Human-in-the-loop agents
No-code agents in n8n connected to APIs + databases
Multi-step workflows with visual orchestration
6. Bringing It All Together — ADK, MCP, A2A, and Guardrails
The final sprint: we combine everything into a production system using Google’s ADK (Agent Development Kit), implement MCP (Modular Cognitive Planning), and create agent-to-agent (A2A) collaboration. You'll also implement industrial-grade guardrails and deploy securely with GCP integrations.
🛡️ You’ll ship:
Multi-agent collaboration workflows
-Safety guardrails using Llama Guard
- Production deployment + monitoring
- A capstone project solving a real-world enterprise task
🧩 Who This Is For
