Retrieval (RAG)

Letting an AI look things up in trusted documents before it answers.

In one line

Letting an AI look things up in trusted documents before it answers.

Picture it

An open-book exam instead of answering from memory.

Under the hood

Retrieval-augmented generation: embed documents, search for the chunks nearest to the question, and place them in the context window. Permissions must be checked at query time so nobody retrieves what they were never cleared to see.

Marking "I get this" is self-reported and stays in this browser. The same mark shows on the map.
