RAG Search Function

AI answers backed by your own knowledge.

What is RAG Search?

The RAG search function combines the power of AI with your own knowledge base: Slimbot first searches for the right piece of information and uses it to formulate the answer. This gives you reliable answers based on your own documents, not on general assumptions.

How does it work?

  1. Add your documents and sources to the knowledge base.
  2. Ask your question to Slimbot in plain language.
  3. The AI searches for the most relevant passages in your sources.
  4. You get a clear answer with reference to the source.

Use cases

Customer service that provides answers based on your own policy.
Consultancy answering questions from its own files.
Webshop with a chatbot that only uses your information.
Team that needs reliable internal answers.

Benefits

  • Answers come from your knowledge, with source reference.
  • Less chance of fabricated or generic answers.
  • Verifiable because you see the source.
  • Combines the convenience of AI with the reliability of your documents.

Frequently asked questions

Can the AI also make up things that aren't in my sources?

The RAG approach bases answers on your knowledge base and shows the source, significantly reducing the risk of fabricated answers.

What if the answer isn't in my documents?

Then Slimbot indicates that instead of guessing, so you know the knowledge is still missing.

Can I see where an answer comes from?

Yes, the answer refers to the source file, so you can always check it.
