Adaptive RAG is an advanced Retrieval-Augmented Generation strategy that intelligently integrates dynamic query analysis with self-correcting mechanisms to optimize response accuracy. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has revolutionized how we build AI systems that can access and reason over external knowledge. However, as applications have grown more sophisticated, the limitations of traditional RAG approaches have become apparent.

This course covers core and advanced Anthropic API usage. It shows how to make and manage API requests to Claude, build tool‑calling agents, implement RAG pipelines, and use MCP to connect models with tools and data for complex task execution.
