## Choose when

### Choose RAG-Driven-Generative-AI if…

- Tags unique to RAG-Driven-Generative-AI: advanced-rag, chroma, embedding-models, fine-tuning.
- Also covers Vector Databases.
- When you need advanced RAG capabilities with LlamaIndex's specific toolset

### Choose generative-ai if…

- Tags unique to generative-ai: agentic-ai, claude, gemini, genai-usecase.
- Also covers AI Agents, Inference & Serving.
- Use generative-ai if you are seeking detailed learning resources covering a wide range of topics from agentic AI to multimodal applications.

## When NOT to use RAG-Driven-Generative-AI

- If your project strictly requires customization beyond the offered models from OpenAI and Hugging Face
- When you prefer alternative database integrations not including Deep Lake or Pinecone

## When NOT to use generative-ai

- Avoid using generative-ai if you need materials for other AI categories, such as reinforcement learning, that are not comprehensively covered here.
- Not suitable if you require hands-on project components in the form of executable code over Jupyter Notebooks, which serve more as a guide rather than immediate implementation solutions.
