In this module, you will design and implement the retrieval layer of a multimodal RAG system using structured restaurant text data and food images. You will construct multimodal vector indexes, generate text and image embeddings, and build retrieval workflows that combine similarity search with metadata filtering. You will also implement late-fusion techniques to combine and rerank results across modalities, improving the relevance of retrieved outputs. The module follows a step-by-step retrieval pipeline, from index construction to hybrid retrieval and multimodal ranking, with a focus on practical design rather than tool-specific features.

In this module, you will design and implement a multi-agent recommendation system. You will define specialized agents with clear roles, goals, backstories, and tasks, and integrate them into a coordinated multi-agent workflow. You will then test how multiple agents collaborate to generate restaurant and recipe recommendations from a single user input. Finally, you will build an interactive chatbot interface using Gradio to expose the system. The chatbot will process user queries, display coordinated agent outputs, and support basic database editing functionality within the interface.

In this module, you will organize agent tools, databases, and documents within an MCP server. You will then build an MCP client and an LLM-based MCP host that communicate with the server and validate the system through testing. You will also design and implement an LLM-powered MCP host with a GUI, enabling the LLM to access server-exposed tools and documents. This module brings together components built earlier into a unified MCP-based system and validates end-to-end tool execution through a GUI-based application.

In this module, you will complete your AI capstone project by submitting screenshots of tasks performed in previous labs. You’ll organize and present these artifacts to clearly demonstrate how you designed, built, and integrated structured data, multimodal RAG systems, and multi-agent workflows using LangChain, LangGraph, and MCP. This submission will serve as a final evaluation through an AI-based grading system and provide a portfolio-ready showcase of your end-to-end generative AI solution.
