These 5 free modules teach it by building real projects, not by reading about features: Start Here: How Stepthrough Works, How AI Answers from Your Documents: Retrieval (RAG) Explained, AI Support Bot Guardrails, Fallback Answers and Human Handoff and How AI Reads a PDF: OCR, Document Parsing and Field Extraction, and more.

## How every module works
