Designing Our Agentic RAG System: The AI Research Assistant
Explore how to architect a multi-tool AI research assistant by mapping user needs to specialized retrieval tools. Learn to create a clear design blueprint, define system prompts, and visualize agent interactions to build an effective agentic RAG system before coding.
In our last lesson, we took a crucial step from theory to practice. We saw the fundamental architectural difference between a static RAG pipeline and a flexible agentic RAG system, where the RAG pipeline is “promoted” to a Tool. We built a simple agent with just one tool.
Now, we will take on a more ambitious task. Before we write another line of implementation code, we will first put on the hat of an AI architect. In this lesson, we will design the complete blueprint for our course’s capstone project: a powerful, multi-tool AI research assistant. ...
