Get Started with Databricks for Generative AI

This course offers a practical introduction to the Mosaic AI platform, focusing on its key components and features for building and deploying generative AI systems. Participants will learn how Databricks facilitates the development of scalable generative AI solutions and explore Mosaic AI tools such as Vector Search, the Agent Framework, and MLflow's generative AI capabilities for model tracking and logging. This course includes hands-on experience in constructing and evaluating Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, deploying generative AI agents, and leveraging evaluation frameworks to optimize performance. By the end of the course, learners will be equipped with the skills to design, deploy, and monitor common generative AI applications using Mosaic AI.
