No Code Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

This infographic from Google cloud (to explain its Vertex AI search) is an excellent one.

As you can see, implementing RAG Search isn’t simple and involves a lot of moving parts.

On top of it, it also helps if you can write some Python code to handle the stuff that Vertex AI search doesn’t handle very well out of the box.

But there is now a software which abstracts away a lot of these details and allows non-programmers to learn RAG search quickly by implementing a proof-of-concept – Discourse AI

Why Discourse AI?

Recently I saw this comment on Discourse:

I agree with the commenter and I think Discourse AI is a game changer if you are not a programmer but want to learn the basics of RAG search.

So I am creating a course called “RAG Search for Non-programmers” based on Discourse AI, which will help you implement RAG search

  • without writing any code and
  • on a shoestring budget
The price of the full course will be $99 and I expect to complete it around 15th May 2025.

Planned syllabus

I will be building and publishing the course over the next few weeks and I plan to eventually cover all the AI tools offered by Discourse.

Testimonials for my Dialogflow courses

Students in my Dialogflow courses think I do a good job of creating courses for non-programmers.

I most definitely would recommend, and have recommended, Aravind’s Dialogflow courses to others

I bought several courses to learn about Dialogflow ES. I see the courses as an investment in my learning, as such I am more than willing to pay a reasonable price.

As someone who has no background in computer science or coding, but is purely self-taught, I was needing an easy-to-understand course for learning Dialogflow. Aravind’s delivery and explanation of how to work with Dialogflow propelled my understanding and speeded up my learning curve.

What I appreciate the most about Aravind’s courses is how he organizes his lessons. He starts at the beginning and works his way through the lessons that follow a more logical and natural pattern of learning, in this case for beginners.

Highly recommended for anyone wishing to go from noob to expert in DialogFlow

He has a habit of explaining both the hows and the whys of the process in a comprehensible manner which allows me to both quickly grasp and strategize bot creation far better than most other instructors. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to go from noob to expert in DialogFlow.

It was easy to follow and work through on my own

This course provides a great insight for non-programmers. Its easy to follow and allows a non-programmer to understand how Dialogflow can be used. It was easy to follow and work through on my own. I had a few outstanding questions, Answers were provided via consultation – all really easy to follow and clear.

As a non programmer who works with programmers this course is perfect

The course is targeting programmers, but as a non programmer who works with programmers this course is perfect… it provides an overview, well explained concepts and frameworks, and not too technical to follow. As with all other courses on BotFlo, I find it easy to follow and understand.
