Large language models are fluent, but on their own they do not know your prices, policies or stock levels — and they can confidently make things up. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) fixes that.

How RAG works

  1. Ingest: your SOPs, contracts, catalogues and ERP records are split into passages and indexed.
  2. Retrieve: when someone asks a question, the most relevant passages are fetched — respecting that user's permissions.
  3. Generate: the model answers using only those passages and cites them.

Where it pays off

  • Customer support on WhatsApp that quotes your real return policy.
  • Sales staff asking "what is the stock of item X in Lahore?" in plain language.
  • Finance teams searching contracts and invoices instantly.

From answers to actions

Add agents with scoped tools and the assistant can create a quotation, post an entry or send a reminder — under approval gates and with a full audit trail.
