What you'll build

About this Workshop

Retrieval is no longer just about finding documents. This hands-on workshop takes you from basic vector search to sophisticated multi-agent orchestration built for real-world query complexity.

You'll learn how context engineering — structuring what an AI agent sees and remembers — determines the ceiling of your system's capabilities. Live sessions, real coding, not just slides.

Prerequisites

  • Basic Python familiarity
  • Some LLM or RAG experience
  • Curiosity about multi-agent systems
  • Interest in production deployment
Curriculum

What we'll cover

01

Foundations of Context Engineering

Why retrieval quality determines agent quality. The context window as a resource. Intro to the Contextual AI stack.

02

Vector Search & Semantic Retrieval

Dense retrieval with embeddings. Choosing and tuning the right vector store. Evaluation frameworks.

03

Hybrid Retrieval Strategies

BM25 + vector search fusion. Reciprocal rank fusion and reranking. Matching strategy to query type.

04

Intent Parsing & Query Decomposition

Multi-intent query handling in production. Routing logic and orchestration across specialized agents.

05

Multi-Agent RAG Systems

Agent hierarchies and shared memory. Preventing context bleed and agent loops.

06

Conversational State & Memory

Short/long-term memory patterns. Context compression and state machines across a session.

07

Deploy & Capstone

Production architecture walkthroughs. Observability for multi-agent pipelines. Build a full system end-to-end.

Where can I find the link to join?
After payment, you'll receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and a calendar invite. Links are also sent via the Data Science Dojo community channels before the event.
Do I need a paid Zoom account to join?
No. A free Zoom account or just the Zoom app is sufficient. The host manages all access settings.
Is there a refund policy?
Refunds are available up to 7 days before the workshop start date. Contact the Data Science Dojo team directly for requests.
Will there be a recording if I can't attend live?
Yes. The full recording is shared with all registered attendees within 48 hours of the session ending.
What technical prerequisites do I need?
Basic Python and some prior LLM or RAG exposure will help. All notebooks and setup instructions are shared in advance of the session.
