Retrieval-Augmented Generation

This article defines vector databases and explains how they store and retrieve unstructured data using mathematical embeddings to power modern artificial intelligence applications for startups.

RAG connects generative AI models to your specific data sources. It allows startups to build accurate AI tools without the high cost of model training.

AI models sometimes confidently present false information as fact. Founders must understand the mechanics of these hallucinations to mitigate risks in product development and operations.
