Models & Knowledge

Retrieval-Augmented Generation

RAG

Definition

RAG combines an AI model with a separate source of information. Before answering, the system retrieves relevant material and gives it to the model as context.

Why it matters

An AI model cannot be expected to know every current or private company detail. RAG can help answers stay grounded in approved documents and knowledge sources.

Example

An internal HR assistant could retrieve the relevant leave policy before answering an employee’s question.
