Why this topic matters
RAG has become the foundation of most real AI applications today. Instead of relying only on a model’s training data, modern systems retrieve relevant information from documents, databases, and company knowledge.
Understanding RAG helps you design reliable AI assistants, copilots, and agentic systems that actually work in real organizational environments.
