What you'll learn

Connect agents to private data

Use indexing, retrieval, tools, and workflows to ground agent behavior.

Improve answer quality with context

Design retrieval flows that give agents the right information at the right time.

Debug production agent workflows

Build observability and iteration loops around retrieval and workflow failures.

Why this topic matters

Most useful agents depend on proprietary context, not just model intelligence. Builders need patterns for connecting data, tools, and workflows while preserving observability and quality, so agents answer with the right context and can be improved after deployment.
