Questions about RAG development
What is RAG?
Retrieval-augmented generation: before an AI answers, it searches your own documents or data for relevant information and uses it to answer, usually with links to the sources. It makes answers specific to your business and easier to check.
What can a RAG assistant be used for?
Answering staff questions about processes and policies, finding precedents and templates, supporting customer service with accurate answers, and onboarding new team members.
Is our data private?
Yes. The assistant runs in your own accounts, respects existing document permissions and doesn’t copy data into a TribeHQ system.
Why not just use Copilot or ChatGPT?
Sometimes that’s enough, and we’ll tell you. A custom RAG assistant makes sense when you need tighter control over sources, answers, permissions or where the assistant lives.
How long does it take?
A first assistant over a focused set of documents usually takes 2–4 weeks, including testing on real questions.
