Copy and paste these prompts into your chosen tool to get started.
Fill in placeholders (optional):
Design a RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) pipeline for [use case]. Include: document ingestion, chunking strategy, embedding model choice, vector store, retrieval logic, and generation step.
I want to build a RAG system over [document type: PDFs/Slack messages/Confluence pages]. Walk me through the architecture and the code I need to write in Python.
Write the code to ingest [document type] into a vector database using [LangChain/LlamaIndex]. Include: loading, splitting, embedding, and storing steps.
My RAG system retrieves irrelevant chunks. How do I improve retrieval quality? Suggest: chunking strategies, embedding model improvements, and re-ranking approaches.
Write a retrieval evaluation script that measures precision and recall of my RAG system against a set of test questions and expected source documents.
Build a RAG Q&A bot over [document collection] using [OpenAI/Claude] + [Pinecone/Chroma/Weaviate]. Write the complete implementation.
