Gen AI: 5-Wk Proof of Concept

iLink Systems, Inc.

This five-week Proof of Concept (PoC) aims to develop and validate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based, organization-specific Generative AI use case.

Throughout the PoC, we will collaborate closely with the organization to identify and develop specific use cases where RAG-based GenAI can deliver significant value. The process includes data gathering, prompt engineering, and iterative testing to ensure alignment with business objectives. By the end of the PoC, we will demonstrate a working prototype that showcases the potential of GenAI to enhance decision-making, automate processes, and drive innovation within the organization.
