Every company sitting on internal docs, support tickets, or knowledge bases is a RAG use case waiting to happen. Yet most tutorials stop at "hello world" demos that break the moment you feed in real data.
This session covers the production patterns that separate toy demos from systems that handle 10K+ documents with sub-second latency. Whether you're building internal tools or customer-facing products, RAG is the bridge between your data and useful AI.
