Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

Retrieval-augmented generation is a technique where an AI model looks up relevant information from your own documents or data before answering, so its responses are grounded in your specific, up-to-date knowledge rather than only what it learned in training.

Why it matters for your business

RAG is how you get an AI that actually knows your business — your policies, your products, your past projects — instead of one that guesses. It's the foundation of accurate internal assistants and customer-facing answers you can trust.

In practice

A support assistant uses RAG to pull the exact answer from your help docs before replying, so customers get your real policy, not a plausible-sounding guess.
