**Let’s use RAG for Ansible coding and say goodbye to tedious tasks!** by Benoît Fabre  
Writing comprehensive documentation and extensive Molecule test cases is essential when building quality Ansible collections, yet these elements are often overlooked by developers. In this talk, we’ll dive into our experiments with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques, where we injected custom Ansible repositories as context to LLMs and evaluated the accuracy of the output.  
Join us as we share insights and findings on how RAG can help you as Ansible developer.
