RAG Systems (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)

Build RAG systems that combine retrieval with LLM generation for context-grounded, context-aware AI

Large Language Models are powerful — but unreliable when they operate without context. RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) solves this by grounding AI responses in your real data.

H-Studio designs and builds production-grade RAG systems that combine semantic retrieval with LLM generation to deliver context-grounded, explainable, and up-to-date AI outputs designed to reduce hallucinations.

This is one of the ways AI can be made more usable in real products, operations, and enterprise systems.

What RAG Systems Are (and Why They Matter)

RAG systems connect LLMs with external knowledge sources:

databases
documents
APIs
internal systems
real-time data

Instead of generating responses without context, the model retrieves relevant information first, then generates responses based on retrieved context. This supports:

improved factual grounding
controllable outputs
domain-specific intelligence
auditability
continuous knowledge updates

What We Build with RAG

Knowledge-Grounded AI

internal knowledge assistants
enterprise search & Q&A
documentation bots
compliance-aware AI tools

Product & Customer Use Cases

support assistants with context-grounded answers
AI copilots for users or employees
semantic search across large datasets
AI interfaces for complex systems

RAG Architecture We Implement

1.

Data Ingestion & Knowledge Modeling

We structure your data properly:

documents (PDF, DOCX, HTML)
databases & APIs
tickets, CRM records, logs
multilingual content

Everything is normalized, chunked, and indexed semantically.

2.

Vector Search & Retrieval

We implement:

high-quality embeddings
vector databases (Postgres, specialized stores)
hybrid search (semantic + keyword)
relevance scoring & filtering

Retrieval quality determines generation quality.

3.

LLM Integration & Prompt Engineering

We connect retrieval to generation:

prompt templates
context injection
citation & source control
answer constraints & formatting

The model is configured to prioritize retrieved context over unconstrained generation.

4.

Governance, Control & Monitoring

Production RAG requires control:

confidence thresholds
fallback logic
logging & traceability
performance & cost monitoring
access control & permissions

Typical RAG Use Cases

internal knowledge bases
AI customer support
policy & compliance assistants
technical documentation search
AI copilots for operations
data-driven decision support

Who RAG Is For

companies with large knowledge bases
enterprises requiring higher levels of control and transparency in AI outputs
products requiring explainability
regulated industries
teams replacing brittle chatbots

FAQ

FAQ

Fine-tuning trains a model on your data, which is expensive, slow to update, and can't access real-time information. RAG retrieves relevant information at query time and uses it as context for generation. RAG is faster to deploy, easier to update, and can access live data sources.

We enforce strict constraints: the LLM is constrained to prioritize retrieved context and applies fallback logic when context quality is insufficient, we use confidence thresholds, we implement citation requirements, and we add fallback logic when retrieval quality is low. We also monitor outputs and log all generations for auditability.

RAG can retrieve from documents (PDF, DOCX, HTML), databases, APIs, CRM/ERP systems, knowledge bases, wikis, and real-time data streams. We structure and index everything semantically so the system can find relevant information quickly.

A basic RAG system (data ingestion + retrieval + LLM integration) typically takes 6-10 weeks. Complex RAG with multiple data sources, advanced retrieval logic, and extensive governance can take 12-20 weeks. We start with an architecture review to define scope.

Yes — we build multilingual RAG systems that handle, English, and other languages. We use multilingual embeddings, language-aware retrieval, and prompt engineering that respects language boundaries. RAG systems can answer in the language of the query.

RAG systems development for companies building production AI systems. We support organizations with RAG architecture, vector search, and LLM integration based on the specific technical and regulatory context of each project. All services are delivered individually and depend on system requirements and constraints.

RAG systems are probabilistic AI systems. While retrieval significantly improves contextual grounding, outputs may still vary depending on data quality, retrieval performance, and model behavior. RAG systems support decision-making and information access but do not replace human review, validation, or responsibility.
