Forget RAG Pipelines—Build Production Ready Agents in 15 Mins: Nina Lopatina, Rajiv Shah, Contextual

Want to take advantage of your data, but don't want to reinvent RAG infrastructure? Join our workshop and see how you can deploy Agentic RAG in minutes using Contextual AI's managed RAG solution. We'll explore how Contextual handles intelligent parsing and chunking of your data, retrieves information with state of the art accuracy, and generates responses with a multi layered set of guardrails against hallucinations. Together, we'll build an end-to-end Agentic RAG pipeline and demonstrate its integration with Claude Desktop via MCP, so you can see how this could plug into your existing ecosystem. By the end of this session, you'll have a functioning Agentic RAG prototype that you can easily customize and deploy to production for your specific use cases, even with complex, unstructured documents.
