◇ THE WIRE · BREADTH FIRST

The AI Engineer Atlas

The horizontal bar of your T. Nine domains span the whole field — tap one to see the wire, then use the Bloom ladder below to drive deep.

EXT = extended production domains — learn the six core ones first.

THE WIRE
Fetch relevant docs, paste into prompt, answer from them.
WHY
How models answer about YOUR data they were never trained on.
GO DEEP
Chunking → vector DB → hybrid search → reranking → eval.

How to descend into any domain

Bloom's 6 levels. You don't truly "know" a topic until you reach the top and create with it. Tap a rung.

EDGES OF THE MAP
Beyond this map: multimodal (vision/audio) and voice agents — now covered by the Multimodal & Voice orient lesson; the deeper edges stay on the horizon.
T-shaped path: skim all nine domains shallow first → then drive RAG & Evals to the top rung.
