Answering from your material.
WHAT THIS ENABLES
Asking questions of your own documentation, policies, contracts or records.
Answers grounded in your material rather than generated from training data.
HOW IT WORKS
Your documents are indexed. When you ask a question, relevant passages are retrieved and the model answers from them.
WHY IT IS RELIABLE
The answer comes from provided text. Hallucination is substantially reduced.
WHERE IT HELPS
- Internal knowledge: how do we do X
- Customer support: answering from documentation
- Contracts: what does this agreement say about Y
- Records: finding what you know is somewhere
WHAT STILL GOES WRONG
If the retrieval finds the wrong passages, the answer is wrong The model may add unsupported detail
Ask for citations and check them.
WHAT TO CONSIDER
Where your documents are stored and processed Who can query them Whether confidential material is included
THE PRACTICAL VALUE
For a business with years of accumulated documents, substantial.
