Hands-on Workshop: Build a GenAI App in a Day with IBM and DataStax on Azure
Jun 24
9:00 AM EDT
IBM Office 16 York Street, Toronto, ON M5J 2Z2, Canada
We are officially part of Toronto Tech Week 2025, a weeklong citywide collection of events to connect and celebrate the builders. June 23 → June 27, 2025 | torontotechweek.com.
The AI Platform as a Service
The DataStax AI PaaS simplifies AI RAG app development and data management, from idea through to production, whether cloud or self-managed, in a secure and scalable manner via deep integrations with the top AI cloud providers. Astra DB integrates seamlessly with the Microsoft Azure ecosystem, including Azure OpenAI Models, making it easy to build and deploy GenAI applications.
By the end of the workshop, you will have:
- Created an end-to-end GenAI chatbot
- Learned all about the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pattern
- Integrated with Microsoft Azure embedding and foundation models
- Spun up a vector database on DataStax Astra DB
Not sure if you qualify for this workshop? This is a 101 course, so while some coding experience is helpful, you don’t need to know anything about RAG or AI to participate!
NOTE: Attendees must bring their laptop for this workshop.
