    RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

    A technique that enhances LLM responses by retrieving relevant context from external knowledge sources.

    Why it matters

    • Grounds AI responses in actual data
    • Reduces hallucinations and improves accuracy
    • Enables AI to use private or recent information

    When to use

    • When AI needs access to specific knowledge bases
    • For customer support chatbots with documentation
    • When accuracy is more important than creativity

    Common mistakes

    • Poor chunking and embedding strategies
    • Not evaluating retrieval quality
    • Retrieving too much or too little context
