Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
How Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) Works in Production
Instead of forcing a foundation model to memorize enterprise knowledge during training, RAG dynamically retrieves authoritative excerpts from your private documents, wikis, or transactional databases at query time. The retrieved context is inserted into the prompt context window, allowing the model to generate accurate answers with verifiable citations while preventing outdated or hallucinated statements.
Practical Enterprise Workflow
A customer asks: 'What is our refund window for enterprise annual licenses?' The RAG pipeline queries an in-VPC vector database, retrieves section 4.2 of the client MSA, and instructs Claude or GPT-4o to answer using only that excerpt, citing page 12 directly.
