Introduction

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines the strengths of LLMs with external information retrieval, significantly improving the quality and relevance of generated content.

This technique is especially useful in scenarios where the LLM’s pre-existing knowledge is insufficient or outdated.

In this guide, we'll explore how to seamlessly integrate RAG into your LLM applications to enhance their performance.
