  • Responsible Enterprise RAG
    Nov 14 2024

    Building AI Assistants and Agents for mission-critical enterprise applications presents challenges related to accuracy, security, and explainability. An effective end-to-end Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) platform can mitigate AI "hallucinations," reduce bias, and ensure high-precision, contextually accurate outputs. This enhances compliance with copyright standards and delivers consistently trustworthy results. Robust security measures, including access controls, defenses against prompt injection attacks, and adherence to SOC2 and HIPAA compliance requirements, are essential for protecting sensitive data. Additionally, explainability for results and actions aids compliance, simplifies troubleshooting, and builds trust in AI-driven applications.

    Such a platform should offer sophisticated capabilities, extending beyond basic vector search by combining semantic and lexical retrieval, advanced reranking, real-time updates, and flexible user-defined functions, while remaining easy to use through a simple API. This empowers developers to build high-performing AI-driven applications without needing deep expertise in complex RAG systems. By integrating a plug-and-play RAG solution, enterprises can lower costs, simplify custom solutions, and benefit from ongoing model and infrastructure updates, all while maintaining compliance and scalability through flexible deployment options like SaaS, on-premises, or VPC hosting.
