​Building LLM-based applications is exciting, but keeping them reliably performant in production is a challenge—even for the best teams. How do you track user interactions? Diagnose issues? Prevent regressions when prompts or models change? At Weights & Biases, we’ve worked with hundreds of companies to tackle questions like these.

Join us for this exclusive workshop, where we’ll guide you through building and evaluating an AI application using a proven, future-proof workflow, learning how to:

  • Log and analyze system behavior.

  • Collect and leverage user feedback.

  • Design evaluations to identify and resolve issues.

  • Confidently fine-tune and optimize performance.

No prior experience with evaluations? No problem. Just bring your laptop, and leave with practical skills to future-proof your AI applications.

​Join Pinecone (https://www.pinecone.io) and Weights & Biases (https://wandb.ai) as we hack on the newest tech principles together

​What we're doing tonight:

​Building high-performing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems requires understanding how to evaluate and improve their components. Join Pinecone and Weights & Biases for a hands-on session focused on techniques to design, evaluate, and optimize these RAG workflows.

​While finance will be highlighted as an application area, the techniques discussed will apply broadly across use cases. Attendees will gain skills necessary for building and refining production-ready RAG pipelines, with workflows suited for challenging data-driven applications.

​This session is designed for GenAI application builders seeking hands-on experience with the tools and techniques that drive success in developing RAG systems.

RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipelines enable your LLMs to access real-time and proprietary data for more accurate responses.  In this workshop, we'll build a RAG chat app that uses sensitive documents in Google Drive, and top it off with identity + access control and learn how to defend against prompt injection, data leaks, and malicious actors.

Agenda:

  • Build a secure RAG chat app that uses real-time, proprietary data safely

  • Defend AI apps against prompt injections and other OWASP top 10 LLM threats

  • Integrate identity and access control to protect sensitive data in RAG pipelines and AI agents.
