Modern RAG systems go far beyond question-answering. In Part IV of this workshop series, participants learn how to use agentic RAG systems as productive, local, and secure AI assistants for office work.
The session focuses on architectures and tools for AI agents that combine retrieval, reasoning, and action, including document updates, research support, and workflow automation. Safety mechanisms such as guardrails and policy layers are also addressed to enable responsible deployment in organizations.
Participants will configure their own RAG agent, define tools, and test realistic office workflows. Part IV concludes the series and demonstrates how RAG prototypes can be transformed into production-ready AI assistants.
