DEFINITION
RAG
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
Definition
A technique that enhances LLM responses by first retrieving relevant documents from a knowledge base, then including them in the prompt. RAG gives agents access to custom knowledge without retraining the model — critical for agents that need to reason over large document sets.
