In the previous workshop, we focused on turning an AI agent or RAG-style prototype into a structured FastAPI backend. We covered the backend setup, API structure, configuration, and the foundation fo…
We take the FAQ agent from the End-to-End Agent Deployment workshop and change how it finds answers. That agent searched the FAQ with minsearch, an in-memory keyword index rebuilt from scratch on eve…
We will come up with a topic and implement it
Serving an open-source model yourself means renting a GPU and running an inference server on it. In this workshop we take a quantized DeepSeek model and rent a GPU by the hour on RunPod. We serve it …
We solve a real AI engineer take-home assignment live. The product is a small investment coaching bot that answers public-company research questions without crossing into personalized financial advic…
We start from the FastAPI service we deployed to Railway in the previous workshop. We strip out FastAPI and swap it for a custom AWS Lambda runtime. The runtime handles both the static frontend and t…
Most of what you do as a developer stays private. You learn a tool, fix a bug, or choose one library over another. Then you move on, and the work disappears. In this workshop you turn that work into …
We build a FAQ chatbot from notebook to production. You start with a Jupyter notebook that calls the OpenAI Responses API with a single search tool. Then you wrap it in FastAPI and add a vanilla-JS f…
Join us for the official launch of AI Shipping Labs! Valeriia and I are launching a new community for AI builders. In this session we'll walk through: What AI Shipping Labs is and who it's for The c…
A newer, combined version of this workshop is available: Coding Agent with Skills. We start from the coding agent in the prerequisite workshop. We turn it into a general-purpose coding agent with two…
We start with a DataTalks.Club Data Engineering Zoomcamp FAQ assistant. Then we add checks that keep the agent on topic and block unsafe responses. The checks also show how to cancel wasted work when…
We build a deep research agent over the DataTalks.Club podcast archive. We start by downloading and indexing YouTube transcripts. Then we turn that ingestion code into a durable Temporal workflow. On…
We build a course FAQ assistant from the bottom up. First we expose a plain Python search(query) function to the OpenAI Responses API. Then we turn the same idea into a reusable agent loop and compar…
For a newer, combined take, see Coding Agent with Skills. We build a small project bootstrapper for Django, a coding agent that takes a plain-language app request and copies a working Django template…
We compare AI coding tools by asking each to help build the same small app, Snake in React. We compare the tools rather than ship one polished build. The walkthrough follows the tool categories, movi…
We build a search engine from scratch over DataTalks.Club Zoomcamp FAQ documents. We start with TF-IDF text search, then add cosine similarity and field boosting. From there we move through SVD/LSA a…
