This post is co-written with Pradeep Prabhakaran from Cohere. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a powerful technique that can help enterprises develop generative artificial intelligence (AI) apps that integrate real-time data and enable rich, interactive conversations using proprietary data. RAG allows these AI applications to tap into external, reliable sources of domain-specific knowledge, enriching the context for the language model as it answers user queries.
