About this event

🚀 Workshop: Traditional vs. Generative AI — Building Smarter Agents with RAG in Minutes

📍 Hosted by GDG EMSI Casablanca as part of the OppotunAI Hackathon

🎙️ Led by Mercedes Rodriguez

As AI continues to evolve, the gap between traditional rule-based systems and generative models is narrowing thanks to cutting-edge techniques like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

In this exclusive workshop, Mercedes Rodriguez will dive into how RAG is revolutionizing the development of intelligent agents—enabling systems that can reason, retrieve, and respond with context-aware precision. Whether you're just stepping into the world of AI or already deep into model building, this session will offer practical insights on how to integrate external data sources into LLMs to produce more reliable and efficient results—all in a matter of minutes.

Join us during OppotunAI, the official GDG EMSI Casablanca hackathon, and level up your understanding of AI systems by blending the best of both worlds: traditional and generative.

🧠 Walk away with:

✅ A solid grasp of how RAG enhances LLMs

✅ Hands-on knowledge on building smarter agents

✅ Inspiration to apply this in your own hackathon solutions

Let’s build the future of AI—together.
