S5E5 Mastering AI-enhanced Content Creation using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with Manny Silva

Inside Tech Comm with Zohra Mutabanna

Can outdated training data and hallucinations in large language models (LLMs) hold back your AI projects?
Manny Silva joins us to uncover Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), a technique that improves the output of LLMs. He shares practical insights with real-world applications that ensure AI-generated responses are accurate and contextually relevant.
The future of content creation is going to be automated. Manny reveals how we can cut down the time required to produce first drafts by using developer tools and open-source communities. Learn about integrating engineering and design documents, and templates from the Good Docs Project, all optimized for LLM inference.
This episode also explores the delicate balance between AI and human creativity in writing, emphasizing that while AI can handle initial drafts, human input is invaluable for refinement. Tune in for a compelling discussion that will transform how you approach AI and content creation.
