🚀 Build Your Own Personal RAG System in 40 Minutes!

Join us for an exciting hands-on session at the ACLOD Innovation Summit | October 2025

🗓 Date & Time: October 24 (Friday), 12:00–1:00 PM EST
📍 Live via Zoom | Register here: https://tinyurl.com/aclod202510

Led by Hosung You, Ph.D. candidate in the Workforce Education and Development program at Penn State University, this interactive session is designed especially for non-technical participants who want to explore how Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can transform research and knowledge work.

💡 What is RAG?
RAG stands for Retrieval-Augmented Generation — a powerful AI approach that combines information retrieval and text generation. In simple terms, it helps AI find the right information from your documents before it answers your question, so you get accurate, source-based responses instead of vague guesses.

💡 What You’ll Learn:
- How to build a working RAG system using your own documents
- Fundamentals of embeddings and vector databases
- Ethical AI use and hands-on guidance in VS Code
- Real-world applications for literature reviews and qualitative data analysis

By the end of the workshop, you’ll have your own functioning RAG setup — no coding experience required!

At the ACLOD Lab, we explore how human and machine collaboration can expand human agency in research, learning, and organizational systems.
