Retrieval-augmented generation

Ask a question. Get an answer with sources.

Knowledge lives in manuals, contracts, tickets, emails and people’s heads. An AI knowledge assistant finds the relevant passages in seconds, writes a clear answer and shows where it came from – using only content the person asking is allowed to see.

Why it matters

AI knowledge assistants (RAG)

Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) combines smart search across your documents with a language model. Instead of “guessing” from memory, the AI answers based on the passages it found and links to them. That makes answers verifiable and significantly reduces hallucinations.

We take care of everything a good RAG system needs: clean source preparation, hybrid search, re-ranking, permission checks, updates when content changes and an interface your team enjoys using – in the browser, in Teams/Slack or as an MCP server inside Claude or ChatGPT.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does RAG mean?

RAG stands for retrieval-augmented generation: the AI first searches your documents for relevant passages and only then writes an answer based on them – including citations.

Do our documents leave the company?

That is your call. We can work entirely within your infrastructure, with an EU cloud provider or in a hybrid setup. For sensitive data we use locally hosted models.

How up to date are the answers?

The knowledge base syncs automatically with your sources – in real time or at fixed intervals, depending on the system.

Can the assistant work inside Microsoft Teams or Slack?

Yes. As well as a web interface, we can integrate the assistant into Teams or Slack, or provide it as an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT.
