About this event

What to expect

This hands-on workshop concludes a comprehensive series on building production-ready AI assistants using agentic Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. Organized by the AI Service Center Berlin-Brandenburg at Hasso-Plattner-Institut in Potsdam, this three-hour intensive session takes participants beyond basic question-answering into the realm of autonomous AI agents capable of complex office workflows.

What You'll Build

Participants will configure their own RAG agents that combine retrieval, reasoning, and action capabilities. The workshop focuses on practical architectures and tools for AI assistants that can handle real-world tasks like document updates, research support, and workflow automation. You'll learn to define custom tools, implement safety mechanisms, and test realistic office scenarios—all while maintaining local deployment and security standards.

Workshop Focus Areas

  • Agentic architectures: Moving from retrieval to autonomous action
  • Tool integration: Connecting RAG systems with office workflows
  • Safety mechanisms: Ensuring secure, controlled AI assistant behavior
  • Production readiness: Deploying RAG prototypes for organizational use
  • Practical configuration: Hands-on setup of your own RAG agent

Who Should Attend

This is Part IV of a sequential series, requiring either participation in Parts I–III or equivalent hands-on experience with RAG systems. The workshop targets developers, AI practitioners, and technical professionals working to implement AI assistants in organizational contexts. If you've been building RAG prototypes and want to understand how to evolve them into production-ready, secure AI assistants, this session provides the final pieces of the puzzle.

The AI Service Center Berlin-Brandenburg brings together practical expertise in deploying AI systems within institutional frameworks, with a strong emphasis on security, local deployment, and productive integration with existing workflows. This free workshop offers three hours of intensive learning in a collaborative environment at one of Germany's leading digital engineering institutes.
