RAG

Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Definition

A technique that improves AI accuracy by giving it access to a specific knowledge base at query time, the AI retrieves relevant information before generating its response.

Why it matters

RAG solves the hallucination problem for domain-specific knowledge. Instead of guessing, the AI retrieves facts from your own documents or database before answering.

Example

You build a customer support chatbot powered by RAG. When a customer asks about returns, the AI retrieves the exact wording from your Returns Policy before responding, accurate, every time.
