Is your AI chatbot hallucinating? LLMs are a great foundational tool that has made AI accessible for everyone, but they lack real-time domain-specific data. Building cutting-edge GenAI applications requires an understanding of context around a query and generating relevant, accurate results.

This is where RAG comes in. RAG is a pattern that pairs prompts with real-time external data to improve LLM responses.

Join Confluent experts Andrew Sellers, Head of Technology Strategy, and Kai Waehner, Global Field CTO, as they deep dive into RAG and the 4 Steps for Building Event-Driven GenAI Applications. Register now to learn:

  • How to build a real-time, contextualized, and trustworthy knowledge base
  • Where a data streaming platform and Apache Flink® stream processing (with AI model inference) fit in the RAG architecture
  • Key steps of data augmentation, inference, workflows, and post-processing
  • How a RAG demo works, featuring an AI chatbot that provides personalized product recommendations—built using Confluent, OpenAI, ChatGPT-4, Flink, MongoDB, and D-ID

Andrew Sellers leads Confluent’s Technology Strategy Group, a team supporting strategy development, competitive analysis, and thought leadership.
