This practical crash course teaches you to build integrated AI systems rather than standalone tools. You will first master Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to connect models to your own data for accurate, context-aware answers. Next, you will learn the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to coordinate communication and actions across multiple software components. By the end, you will know how to use RAG for knowledge and MCP for system-level coordination to create sophisticated, multi-part applications.
