What is RAG?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) allows your AI to search through custom databases of information at runtime. Instead of cramming everything into the prompt, the AI retrieves relevant content when it needs it.

Creating a RAG Database

RAG databases work across all assistant types: Voice AI, Chat AI, and Web Orbs.
