Knowledge & RAG

Give every answer a trusted information foundation

Retrieval-augmented generation connects an AI response with information retrieved from the knowledge sources included in the deployment. The goal is to answer with relevant business context rather than relying only on a model’s general knowledge.

Approved knowledge sources

Define which documents, policies, and resources the AI should use. Content ownership and access matter as much as the amount of material available.

Relevant context retrieval

Retrieve information related to the question or task. Better-organized knowledge helps the AI work with context that is useful for the request.

Governed response preparation

Design the response around the available evidence and the permitted use of that knowledge. Missing, outdated, or conflicting information needs a clear fallback.

Improve answers by improving the knowledge behind them

Bring business context into the answer

Use product guidance, approved policies, and operational information that relate to the actual question. General model knowledge is not a substitute for your organization’s current rules.

Keep knowledge accountable

Give source content an owner and a review process. An outdated document can produce an outdated answer even when retrieval works correctly.

Support customers and employees

Use the same approved foundation for customer assistance, agent support, or internal guidance where access allows. Different audiences may need different knowledge scopes.

Learn from unanswered questions

Review requests that cannot be answered reliably. Repeated gaps can show where your content needs clearer explanations or additional coverage.

Follow the work from request to result
