RAG Beyond Chatbots

" summary

Argues that retrieval-augmented generation replaces static dialog trees by running query understanding, embedding with models like BGE or miniLM, and top-K retrieval from a vector store such as FAISS or Pinecone to ground answers; shows multi-stage reasoning that splits complex queries, fuses snippets, and preserves session memory for multi-turn context; describes continuous ingestion pipelines, metadata tagging, access controls, and vision encoders (CLIP) for multimodal RAG and reports first-contact resolution improving to 75–85% from 45–55%.
