Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
Compliance-driven AI responses
Key benefits:
What is RAG, and why isn’t an LLM alone sufficient?
Combine generative AI with your internal enterprise data—structured sources such as knowledge bases, data warehouses (DWH), and data lakes, or unstructured sources like PDFs and ticket systems. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) integrates a language model (LLM) with intelligent semantic search, retrieving relevant and current information in real time from your internal systems. Your AI thus delivers answers with traceable sources and timestamps—ensuring transparency instead of speculation.
How does RAG work technically?
Query vectorization
User inputs are converted into semantic vectors.
Retrieval from internal sources
Relevant content is identified via vector search (e.g., FAISS, Weaviate) across structured and unstructured sources like PDFs, CRM data, and wikis.
Context enrichment
Retrieved content is injected into the language model's context.
Answer generation
The LLM generates informed responses based on enriched context.
What is RAG — and why isn't an LLM alone sufficient?
Combine generative AI with your organization's internal data—whether structured in knowledge bases, Data Warehouses (DWH), and Data Lakes, or unstructured in documents like PDFs or ticketing systems. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) connects a language model (LLM) with an intelligent semantic search that integrates real-time, relevant, and current information from your internal sources. As a result, your AI systems provide responses with verifiable source references and timestamps—they don't speculate, they validate.

FAQs about RAG
RAG combines language models (like GPT) with semantic search of internal enterprise data to deliver accurate, up-to-date, and source-based AI responses.
Traditional LLMs rely on pre-trained knowledge, which may be outdated or generic. RAG enhances them with real-time, enterprise-specific information.
Yes. RAG is deployed within your IT landscape, keeping sensitive data internal and compliant with security and data protection standards.
RAG integrates with:
• CRM systems (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot)
• ERP systems (e.g., SAP, Microsoft Dynamics)
• Knowledge platforms (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint)
• Cloud storage (e.g., AWS, Azure)
• Document management systems (DMS)
• APIs and custom databases
Yes. RAG works seamlessly with platforms like Microsoft Teams, Slack, or internal portals—providing real-time, data-driven responses that enhance decisions and user experience.
