Three real AI products, built end to end.

In the Generative AI program I teach at Skillancy, every learner builds, evaluates and deploys these three products, from LLM fundamentals to a live portfolio. The same patterns power my corporate bootcamps.

In short

In the Generative AI program Rishav Kumar teaches, learners build and deploy three AI products: RetailGenie AI (a RAG-based retail assistant), InfoNavigator AI (semantic search with embeddings and a vector database) and DocuMind AI (document understanding with LangChain and responsible-AI checks).

01 RAG · Conversational AI · LangChain · Fine-tuning

RetailGenie AI

Intelligent Retail Assistant

A conversational product-recommendation assistant that uses LLMs and retrieval-augmented generation to help shoppers find exactly what they need.

What learners build
  • Prompt engineering: zero-shot, few-shot, chain-of-thought and structured outputs
  • LangChain chains and memory for multi-turn conversations
  • Agent logic with the ReAct pattern and tool-calling
  • RAG grounding on a product catalogue using a vector database
  • An image-generation feature and a fine-tuned component (LoRA/PEFT)
Outcome

Deployed as a live, shareable app (FastAPI / Streamlit) and presented as part of the learner's AI portfolio.

02 RAG · Semantic search · Embeddings · Vector DB

InfoNavigator AI

Smart Search & Navigation System

A semantic search system built on vector databases and embeddings, retrieving information by meaning instead of keywords.

What learners build
  • Retrieval and search logic designed for a new domain
  • Embeddings and vector search for meaning-based results
  • Relevance tuning to improve result quality
  • Agentic tool-calling where it adds value
Outcome

Deployed as a live, shareable app (FastAPI / Streamlit) and presented as part of the learner's AI portfolio.

03 LangChain · Document AI · Evaluation · Responsible AI

DocuMind AI

Intelligent Document Understanding Engine

A document parsing and understanding pipeline built with LangChain, with responsible-AI practices built in throughout.

What learners build
  • Document parsing and understanding pipeline in LangChain
  • Hallucination detection and retrieval-quality checks
  • LLM-as-judge evaluation
  • Defences against prompt injection, plus content moderation and data privacy
Outcome

Deployed as a live, shareable app (FastAPI / Streamlit) and presented as part of the learner's AI portfolio.

Case study

300+ professionals, one hour, a working AI agent each.

Challenge

Working professionals had put off learning AI because it seemed too technical.

Approach

A live, hands-on Skillancy session: one guided build, step by step, with no setup barriers.

Result

Every one of the 300+ attendees left with a working AI agent they built themselves in 60 minutes.

FAQ

Projects FAQ

What AI projects do learners build with Rishav Kumar?

Learners build and deploy three end-to-end Generative AI products: RetailGenie AI, a RAG-based conversational retail assistant; InfoNavigator AI, a semantic search and navigation system; and DocuMind AI, a document understanding engine built with LangChain.

How is RAG used in these projects?

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) fetches relevant information from a knowledge source and passes it to the LLM so answers are grounded in real data. RetailGenie AI uses RAG over a product catalogue to recommend products, and InfoNavigator AI uses embeddings and a vector database to retrieve information by meaning.

Which tools are used to build the projects?

Python, OpenAI, LangChain, vector databases for RAG, Hugging Face, PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn and Google Colab, with apps deployed using FastAPI or Streamlit.

Can a company's team build similar AI projects with Rishav Kumar?

Yes. The Team Bootcamp and Multi-week Program for enterprises use the same build-evaluate-deploy approach, applied to the company's own use cases and data.
