Leveraging AlloyDB and Vertex AI for an LLM and RAG-Based Chat Application- GDG
Details
In this session, you'll learn how to build a reliable and scalable infrastructure for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-enabled generative AI applications using Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. RAG enhances the performance of generative AI by integrating context-specific, non-public data into prompts to improve the accuracy of Large Language Model (LLM) responses. You'll explore how to leverage Google Cloud's robust tools, such as AlloyDB for vector storage and semantic search, and how to use Vertex AI’s powerful capabilities, including the Gemini Pro multimodal model, to create an intelligent, scalable solution. This session will cover the architectural considerations, best practices, and key integrations to deliver an efficient, production-grade RAG-powered AI application.
Whether you’re a coder, designer, researcher, policymaker, or just AI-curious, DevFest 2025 is your chance to discover ideas, build connections, and shape the dialogue on the next era of AI.
Build with AI. Think with AI.
Join us at GDG Surrey DevFest 2025 Virtual Series to imagine what’s next-together.
