Agent Ready Launch Week - Day 1: Agentic Retrieval is Here
Blog post from Ragie
Agentic Retrieval is an advanced retrieval system launched by Ragie to enhance the effectiveness of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) by addressing its limitations in handling complex and noisy queries. Unlike traditional RAG, Agentic Retrieval dissects complex queries into sub-questions, selects optimal search strategies, evaluates intermediate results, and adapts its approach when necessary, ensuring that the answers delivered are complete, verifiable, and grounded in reliable evidence. This system is particularly beneficial in contexts like legal, financial, and support scenarios, where retrieving accurate information from scattered data is crucial. It provides citations at the statement level, allowing users to trace the sources of information, and offers adjustable effort levels to balance speed and depth. Integrated into Base Chat, Agentic Retrieval is accessible through Ragie's API and is designed for production use, offering accurate, transparent, and adaptable solutions to challenging queries.
