Hi Gophers! We're at Stile Education this July. Join us to explore the essential infrastructure of modern AI, featuring David Leadbeater on securing AI agents through advanced sandboxing techniques and Sahil Devkota on building accurate, real-world applications using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Agenda

5.45pm — Food & Networking
6:30pm — Intro
6:45pm — Talks
8.00pm — Wrap up then head out for kick ons

Talks
🎤 David Leadbeater
Sandboxing in the age of AI
Sandboxing is more important than ever, with AI agents running code everywhere. This talk will look at options from VMs to "self isolation" such as with Landlock (using go-landlock).

🎤 Sahil Devkota
Why to use RAG?
In this talk, I'll break down how RAG works, why is it really important in real-world and it's popular architectural pattern. We'll look at the core components of a RAG pipeline, discuss it's implementation approach, and cover some of the key things to think about when building an AI applications with RAG.

We'll also briefly explore the fundamentals of Agentic RAG, how it extends traditional RAG by allowing AI systems to reason, plan and make decisions about what information to retrieve and when. While this won't be a deep dive into Agentic RAG, you'll gain a practical understanding of the concepts and how they fit into the evolving AI landscape.

Whether you're working with AI or building application that need accurate responses, you'll leave with a practical understanding of when RAG make sense - and when it doesn't.
