Glossary

Retrieval-augmented generation

One term from the glossary, defined on its own page: what it means to anyone who meets it, and how we use it.

In short

Retrieval-augmented generation, or RAG, is a technique for grounding a language model's answer in a source corpus: passages relevant to the question are found at the moment it is asked and placed in the model's context, so the reply is built from retrieved text as well as from what the model already holds.

In practice

What it means for a business.

In our builds the corpus is your own material: your services, your prices, and the way you already answer clients are the usual starting point. It is retrieved at answer time and no model is retrained on it, and the access is agreed in writing before anything is connected.
