RAG Development

We build RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems that let users search and query business documents — policies, manuals, contracts, knowledge bases. RAG development requires tested retrieval, access controls and honest handling of missing information before connecting a language model.

Start Your Project

What we can build

Built around the way your business works.

Document ingestion and versioning
Access-aware retrieval and indexing
Citations and answer evaluation
Content refresh and deletion workflows

How we work

Clear scope. Purpose-built implementation.

01

Define the task

Agree on users, data, permissions and success criteria.

02

Evaluate a bounded prototype

Test representative and failure cases before rollout.

03

Integrate and observe

Connect approved tools and instrument behavior and usage.

04

Review and release

Validate acceptance criteria and document operational ownership.

Project pricing depends on scope, complexity, integrations, UI/UX, backend requirements, infrastructure and maintenance. We provide a project-specific estimate after understanding the requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is RAG development?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) development involves building a system that searches your business documents and generates answers grounded in what it finds. Unlike a general chatbot, a RAG system only answers from approved, versioned sources.

RAG vs fine-tuning — which is better?

For most business use cases, RAG is more practical. Fine-tuning changes a model's behaviour and requires significant training data and maintenance. RAG uses your documents directly without modifying the model — it is easier to update, audit and control.

What types of documents can a RAG system handle?

PDFs, Word documents, internal wikis, Notion pages, product manuals, contracts and support articles. The quality of retrieval depends on the structure and quality of the source documents.

Scope, trade-offs and next steps

Send your current workflow, required user roles, systems to connect and first-release priorities. We agree on acceptance checks, exclusions, handover and support before development. Platform subscriptions and running costs are discussed separately.
