Learn to Build Retrieval Agents in 120 Minutes

Kickstart your journey into generative AI with the new “Building Retrieval Agents on Databricks” course. It’s the first in the Generative AI Engineering with Databricks series. Learn to design and deploy retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) agents on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform through guided, self-paced training.

Please note: This course was previously called “Generative AI Solution Development.

What you’ll learn:

  • RAG fundamentals: Prompt and context engineering for agentic systems.
  • Data workflows: Parse, chunk, and transform documents for retrieval.
  • Vector search: Build embedding and retrieval pipelines with Mosaic AI Vector Search.
  • Observability: Log, trace, and debug agents using MLflow 3.0.
  • Agent design: Create intelligent assistants with Agent Bricks.

New updates include Ai_parse_document, LangChain integration with Vector Search, and Agent Bricks for knowledge assistants.

Course highlights:

  • Duration: 2 hours 
  • Skill level: Associate
  • Cost: Free
  • Language: English

@Om_Jha , great to see the GenAI Engineering series kicking off. This is a strong starting point for anyone looking to get hands-on with RAG on Databricks. The inclusion of MLflow 3.0 for observability and Agent Bricks for agent design keeps it grounded in real-world practice, not just theory.

Looking forward to seeing where the rest of the series goes.

Cheers, Lou

Hi everyone,

Apologies for the earlier link issue, it looks like there was a redirect problem, which I’ve now fixed. Please try again; it should work correctly now. And yes, the course is free for everyone!

Best,

Om
