Artificial Intelligence (AI) - Technology
RAG
(Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
An AI approach that finds relevant information first and gives it to the model to help answer accurately
What's it for?
Helps artificial intelligence answer using relevant documents rather than relying only on what it learned during training.
For example…
A RAG-based HR bot searches the latest policies, pulls matching sections, then drafts an answer that references those passages
An internal AI assistant uses RAG to find the relevant HR policy paragraphs first, then generates an answer grounded in those documents
Think of it like…
An open-book exam: the student looks up the chapter, then writes the answer from what they found
