All-in-RAG

A free, step-by-step course (in Chinese) on building AI apps that answer questions from your own documents.

New this week

What it does

All-in-RAG is a tutorial on RAG, short for retrieval-augmented generation. RAG is a way of letting an AI look things up in your own documents or data before it answers, so its answers are based on that material.

The course walks through each stage: loading and splitting documents, turning text into searchable form, storing it in a vector database (a database built for this kind of search), improving search results, and checking how well the system works. It ends with hands-on projects.

It is written mainly in Chinese, with an English README, and can be read online.

Who it's for

Developers with basic Python skills who want to learn to build question-answering systems over their own data.

Can I use it without coding?

Developers only. It is reading material, but the exercises need Python, Docker and some command-line use. New to this? Start here.
