RAG Systems

RAG Systems Consultant & Trainer in Geneva

How do you make an AI answer from YOUR internal documents without hallucinating? The answer: RAG systems (Retrieval-Augmented Generation). I train your Swiss IT and AI teams to design, build and operate production-grade RAG pipelines.

Why RAG is the foundation of enterprise AI

Every organisation wants AI that knows its own data — internal policies, product documentation, regulatory texts, client dossiers. Fine-tuning is expensive and fragile. RAG is the pragmatic alternative: retrieve relevant chunks from your knowledge base, then let the LLM generate a grounded answer.

But RAG is not plug-and-play. Chunking strategy, embedding model selection, vector store architecture, re-ranking, evaluation and hallucination detection all require real expertise. I train your teams on the full RAG lifecycle — from document ingestion to production monitoring.

For Swiss organisations handling sensitive data (banking, legal, healthcare), I specifically address data residency, on-premises vector stores and nFADP-compliant architectures.

RAG lets AI speak your language, from your data, without making things up: that is the promise, and the training delivers.

What I can do for you in Switzerland

Beyond training, I support you across your whole project:

  • Audit of your RAG strategy usage and maturity.
  • Tailor-made training for your teams.
  • Support throughout implementation.
  • Consulting and best-practice guidance.

Who it is for

  • AI and data engineering teams.
  • Solution architects designing AI systems.
  • Banks and insurance companies (RAG on procedures and regulations).
  • Organisations with high document density (legal, healthcare, public sector).

RAG systems training in Geneva, Lausanne and Zurich

Based in Carouge (Route des jeunes 47B, Canton of Geneva), I deliver on-site training across French-speaking Switzerland — Geneva, Lausanne, Fribourg, Neuchâtel — as well as in Zurich, Berne and Basel, on-site or via virtual classroom. Quotes available in CHF on request.

Frequently asked questions

You may be wondering…

Which vector stores do you cover?
Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, Chroma, pgvector — adapted to your infrastructure and data residency needs.
Is RAG always sufficient?
Not always — for some use cases, fine-tuning or hybrid approaches work better. We cover when to use what.
Can we host everything in Switzerland?
Yes — we cover on-premises and Swiss-hosted cloud options for every component of the RAG stack.
What does a production RAG system cost?
We provide cost modelling during the training, covering compute, storage, API calls and maintenance.
