You may have seen the acronym ‘RAG’ floating around in relation to artificial intelligence. What the heck is RAG and why is everyone talking about it?

RAG stands for Retrieval-Augmented Generation and combines a generative model with a retrieval system to enhance or augment (as the name suggests) AI responses with more accurate and current data. So this means there are two portions to it: the generative model, which generates human-like text, and the retrieval system, which supplements the generative model’s output.

As with any emerging technology, before implementing it within your organization, it’s wise to understand it, as well as its potential benefits, and truly consider why you should – or should not – use it. Let’s explore what RAG is and the impact it can have on your business.

Benefits of RAG

There are numerous benefits of implementing RAG, but the major benefits include preventing hallucination, control over the knowledge base used and flexibility in updating information like price changes or product stock.

Preventing Hallucination: RAG reduces the occurrence of generating false or nonsensical information by grounding responses in verified data, enhancing the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated content, crucial for areas where precision is vital.

Control Over the Models Knowledge: RAG allows precise control over the information sources, enabling organizations to tailor content generation to their specific standards and requirements, thus ensuring consistency and alignment with organizational values.

Flexibility on Updating Information: With RAG’s ability to process real-time data, it excels in applications requiring current information, such as AI sales agents and market analysis, ensuring that businesses can offer accurate, timely data to their clients.

Future of RAG and AI

RAG holds great potential for revolutionizing customer interactions, particularly in the sales function. Businesses would be wise to take advantage of all these benefits – or risk losing out to the competition. If you are just dipping your toes into the RAG pool, my recommendation would be to start with one narrow use case and expand from there. Starting small versus going far and wide out of the gate can help you avoid mistakes down the road.

I anticipate RAG and AI as a whole will improve even more regarding emotional intelligence. For example, it’s likely AI will be able to interpret emotions from tone and facial expressions. This can have far-reaching implications not only across many functions of your business but also across industries. It will be important for leaders to watch this space and keep up with the latest RAG and AI trends to most effectively implement it within your business.
