What is RAG?

RAG combines AI language models with your actual content using semantic search. Instead of the AI guessing or hallucinating, it retrieves relevant information from your site and uses it to generate accurate, cited responses.

Key Features:

🔍 Semantic Search
– Understands meaning and context, not just keywords
– Finds conceptually related content
– Works in multiple languages
– Provides source citations

⚡ Hybrid Search
– Combines semantic search with keyword matching
– Best of both worlds for maximum accuracy
– Ensures exact terms aren’t missed
– Recommended for production sites

🎯 RAG Optimization
– Content Hash Caching – Reuses embeddings for duplicate content (0 API calls)
– Batch Embedding API – Processes multiple texts in one request (10x fewer API calls)
– Smart Update Detection – Only re-embeds when content actually changes
– 90% API Quota Savings – Dramatically reduces costs
