A RAG chatbot on your company knowledge base: what it is and when it pays off

29+ min ago   (806+ words) The request I hear most often this year sounds the same every time: "We want a bot that answers from our documents and does not make things up." The technical name is RAG, retrieval-augmented generation. Below, without jargon: what it…...
