What is RAG?

Understanding how RAG powers Needle's intelligent document understanding

Overview

Why RAG matters for your business

What is RAG?

RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) is a revolutionary approach that connects AI with your organization's private knowledge. At Needle, we've perfected this technology to help businesses unlock the full potential of their documents, manuals, and internal systems without the complexity of building everything from scratch.

Key Challenges in Enterprise AI:

  • • AI systems can't access your organization's private knowledge
  • • Generic AI responses lack grounding in your specific domain
  • • Information silos create inefficiencies and inconsistencies
  • • Maintaining data security while leveraging AI capabilities
  • • Hours wasted searching through scattered documentation
