Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

A method where an AI looks up relevant information from your documents and includes it in the prompt before answering.

Why it matters

RAG lets a model answer questions about private or up-to-date data it was never trained on, and cite sources.

Example

A support chatbot that answers from your help docs is usually built with RAG.
