Create an AI Agent with RAG in Two Simple Steps
Using the framework Agno, it is simple to augment the agent’s capabilities.
I remember the first time I heard about the word RAG, it sounded like something from another world.
If you also feel that way, you have come to the right place. Stay with me in this tutorial, so we can demystify this concept together.
In this article, we will build an agent that can answer questions about a PDF file by retrieving information from it. Let’s dive in.
What is RAG?
