Master RAG fundamentals in JavaScript by exploring basic concepts and retrieval techniques, constructing and querying vector databases, using semantic embeddings, and building a complete end-to-end RAG pipeline in JS.

See courses

Learn what Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is, why combining retrieval with generation can reduce hallucinations, and how a basic RAG workflow contrasts with naive prompting. This course is mostly informational, setting the stage for more hands-on work in later courses.

Course 2

Text Representation Techniques for RAG Systems

4 lessons

16 practices

Learn practical text‐representation methods for RAG systems: why representation matters, Bag-of-Words vs. semantic embeddings, visualizing embeddings with t-SNE, and comparing their performance in document retrieval and semantic search.

See details

Course 3

Scaling up RAG with Vector Databases using JavaScript

4 lessons

17 practices

Build and query a vector database for RAG: preprocess documents, store chunk embeddings in ChromaDB, retrieve relevant chunks with metadata filters and weighting, craft multi-chunk prompts, manage collection updates, and scale ingestion with batch strategies.

Course 4

Beyond Basic RAG using JavaScript: Improving the Pipeline

4 lessons

15 practices

Enhance your RAG pipeline with advanced retrieval: combine BM25 and embeddings, implement iterative retrieval with query refinement and context building, constrain LLM outputs to sourced context, and optionally summarize chunks into a concise prompt.

I love that it's personalized. When I'm stuck, I don't have to hope my Google searches come out successful. The AI mentor Cosmo knows exactly what I need.

It's an amazing product and exceeded my expectations, helping me prepare for my job interviews. Hands-on learning requires you to actually know what you are doing.

Alex Bush

Full Stack Engineer

I'm really impressed by the AI tutor Cosmo's feedback about my code. It's honestly kind of insane to me that it's so targeted and specific.

Abbey Helterbran

Tech consultant

I tried Leetcode but it was too disorganized. CodeSignal covers all the topics I'm interested in and is way more structured.
