Artificial intelligence is transforming how people interact with information, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) is at the forefront of this innovation. RAG enhances large language models by enabling access to external knowledge bases, providing highly accurate and context-aware answers. 

In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through building an AI-powered assistant using RAG to create a smarter, more informed system for rating professors. Using tools like Next.js, React, Pinecone, and OpenAI’s API, this project is designed to be approachable for all, whether you’re just starting or already have experience in AI.
