This bootcamp, offered at no cost as a cohort-based course, is designed to be your all-encompassing tutorial for mastering and creating RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) applications, leveraging the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs) and live/real-time data streams.

If this concept seems daunting, that's perfectly okay. By the time you complete this bootcamp, not only will you have a deep appreciation for these advanced techniques and technologies, but you'll also be equipped to develop a significant open-source project independently!

:star: **Please make sure** to finish your [registration on Unstop](https://unstop.com/workshops-webinars/spring-of-realtime-llms-bootcamp-iit-kharagpur-917873?lb=Yxt5XWS) and star the GitHub repositories mentioned below. It's your way to support our work and be a part of the Pathway community. Besides, we will be referring back to these resources throughout the course.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://kdag-iit-kharagpur.gitbook.io/realtime-llm/get-started-with-the-bootcamp.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `build a script that syncs our docs to a CMS` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
