Build Your Own CLI Chatbot with RAG Support — An All-Code, No-Slides Session

Join us for an all-code, no-slides session where we demystify AI by showing just how approachable it can be. You will build your own CLI chatbot with support for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) — combining the reasoning of Large Language Models (LLMs) with the accuracy of your own data.
We will start by introducing the essentials: how LLMs, embeddings, and vector databases work together to enable semantic search. We'll then see how Couchbase Shell, a Nushell-based CLI, can be used to build a chatbot, and connect to Couchbase to implement RAG.
All you need to follow along is Couchbase Shell, a Capella Free Tier account, and an OpenAI (or compatible) API key.

What You Will Learn
- How LLMs are used for Chatbots
- What is Retrieval Augmented Generation
- About Couchbase and its Semantic Search and AI capabilities
- Discover Nushell, a next generation shell to build awesome CLIs

A laptop, basic knowledge of databases, and a passion for learning and developing modern applications.
