Generative AI and AI Agents Explained: RAG, Prompts & Tools | AI Concepts Ep. 2

Why can one AI system answer a question in seconds while another can search tools, make a plan and finish a task? In this lesson you'll learn how generative AI creates content, how RAG grounds answers in your own data, and what makes an AI agent different from a chatbot. What you'll learn: • What generative AI is and how it produces text, code, images and structured output • Prompts, tokens, instructions, temperature and context windows • Why retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) improves grounding with fresh or private data • How agents use memory, tools and decision loops • Real-world design concerns: latency, cost, permissions and failure handling Chapters: 0:00 From generation to action 0:31 What generative AI is 1:44 Core concepts that control outputs 3:23 Why retrieval-augmented generation matters 4:43 What makes an agent different 6:14 Design concerns in real systems 7:36 Key takeaways ▶ Full course playlist:    • Generative AI and AI Agents Explained: RAG...   ▶ Previous: What Is AI? —   • What Is AI? A Practical Introduction for D...   ▶ Next: Text and Natural Language —    • NLP Explained: How AI Understands Text (Em...   🔔 Subscribe to RR Skillverse for practical AI and cloud lessons for developers.
