Learn how to build a fast, private AI search engine that indexes and retrieves documents using modern open-source tools. From a simple prototype to a production-ready system, you will create intelligent local search that runs entirely on your own hardware.

For PMs, presales, and managers who work with AI but don’t write code: how RAG, agents, fine-tuning, compliance, and security actually fit together.

HNSW powers almost every vector database, and few of the engineers who rely on it have seen inside it. Vector Search Inside Out builds it from first principles in 92 step-by-step figures, then tunes it on 1.18 million real vectors. You'll know exactly what M, efConstruction and ef do, and how to set them for your own data.

Curious about agentic AI but not sure where to start? This beginner-friendly guide takes you from the basics to building your own AI agents, even if you have no coding experience. Learn how agents work, choose the right tools and turn your ideas into practical, reliable solutions for real-world problems.

EmbeddingGemma 2 offers a hands-on look at Google's embedding model and how to put it to work. From semantic search and RAG to code retrieval and multimodal applications, this guide covers the architecture, trade-offs and practical implementation details you need to build reliable systems and make the right choices for your stack.

Build one real AI system end to end, from raw job postings to a deployed, tested API, and learn production AI engineering on the way. 24 chapters, runnable code, and numbers you can reproduce.

Unlock the full potential of large language models with RAG. This book takes you from core concepts to production-ready systems, exploring everything from embeddings and search to evaluation and security. With clear explanations, runnable code and practical insights, you'll learn how to build reliable AI systems grounded in the knowledge that matters.

Build reliable, production-ready search systems with embeddings and neural reranking. Learn how to turn semantic meaning into relevant results, refine retrieved content and deliver better context for AI-generated answers. With hands-on Python examples and practical architectures, this book takes you from core concepts to real-world RAG systems.

AI can sound certain even when it is completely wrong. This book takes a practical approach to building RAG systems and AI agents that ground answers in evidence, verify what they generate and know when to stop. Learn how to make AI more reliable in the places where getting it wrong really matters.

Build production-ready applications with TypeScript in the age of AI. Go beyond the basics to master type-safe development, modern full-stack architectures, LLMs, intelligent agents, tool calling and the Model Context Protocol. With practical, runnable examples throughout, this book shows you how to build, test, secure and deploy serious TypeScript AI systems.

Building an LLM demo is easy. Running one reliably at scale is not. Production LLMOps shows you how to design, deploy and operate real-world LLM systems, covering RAG, agents, fine-tuning, evaluation, CI/CD, observability, security and more, with practical code you can adapt for production.

Learn how to design and build production-ready RAG and GenAI systems—from retrieval fundamentals and evaluation to agents, observability, security, and end-to-end architecture.

Vectors, embeddings, retrieval, agents, and evaluation are all built from first principles inside the chapter that needs them. No mathematics. No machine learning background. No prior AI experience and no framework knowledge is required. We build with plain Python and small, single-purpose libraries.  

What if your AI didn’t just answer questions—but solved problems?Imagine an AI that doesn’t just chat—it plans, reasons, and takes action. An AI that can fetch data, run diagnostics, collaborate with other agents, and even handle your most tedious tasks—all while you focus on what matters.Google’s Agent Development Kit (ADK) makes this possible,
