Retrieval Augmented Generation

What is Retrieval Augmented Generation?

Retrieval Augmented Generation is a technique which improves the output of a generative AI solution. 

Why is Retrieval Augmented Generation important?

Generative AI tools have huge potential, but also bring the risk of hallucinations where a response sounds plausible but is not founded in accurate data. A Retrieval Augmented Generation technique can minimize these risks in several ways:

• Extend knowledge base: Pulls in up-to-date data from authoritative sources.
• Provide fresher contextual data: Uses the latest information in every response to user prompts.
• Cite sources: Cites sources used in every response.
• Ensure accurate responses: Provides relevant and accurate answers from real and verifiable data sources.
• Verify sources: Allows users to refer back to original sources for information verification.
• Maintain authority and compliance: Demonstrates that responses are based on authoritative and ethically collected data, fostering trust among customers and stakeholders.
