Start with a concrete problem
Choose document Q&A, information organization, or a work assistant. Define users, inputs, outputs, and success criteria instead of learning every model and framework at once.
Build four additional skills
Learn model APIs and errors, context and structured output, retrieval and sources, and real quality evaluation. Your frontend skills deliver interaction; the new skills deliver reliable results.
Connect learning to evidence
Build a basic application, then add sourced RAG and evaluate it with a question set. Keep failures and improvements as both learning feedback and interview material.
