What you'll learn

Browser-Centric RAG Implementation

Students will understand how to architect RAG systems with the browser as the primary retrieval engine.

Client-Side Function Execution

Students will learn to implement function calling patterns where LLMs return instructions executed locally by clients.

WYSIWYG Data Integration for LLMs

Students will discover techniques to leverage browser-accessible data sources for more responsive AI interactions.

Why this topic matters

Client-first RAG architecture lets browsers connect AI directly to user data, enabling faster development and more secure integrations. This approach streamlines prototyping and respects data boundaries—skills crucial for building modern AI applications that work seamlessly with existing systems.
