  How to Do This Course
Module 1 - Understanding AI
9 Items
Large Language Models (LLMs) generate language, not truth. Explore tokens, prompts, context windows and hallucinations, then examine why Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) grounds responses in trusted knowledge.
Module 2 - Building the Knowledge Base
9 Items
Understand how to transform a digital resource (e.g. a book) into semantic knowledge through chunking, embeddings and vector search. Learn why CABot uses ChromaDB and metadata rather than retraining models.
Module 3 - Choosing Your Architecture
5 Items
Compare hosted APIs, local models, vector databases and orchestration frameworks. Rather than recommending one stack, this module helps you choose technologies appropriate to your own community.
Module 4 - Building the Chatbot
8 Items
In this module, we follow a learner's question from a browser prompt to asynchronous RAG orchestration. We aim to understand asynchronous architecture and browser-first deployment.
Module 5 - Responsible & Multilingual AI
5 Items
Responsible AI begins with trustworthy knowledge, not simply powerful models. Explore transparency, source attribution, multilingual retrieval, privacy, accessibility and environmentally conscious AI.
