RAG systems are designed to provide AI models with access to external databases or documents during response generation, improving retrieval speed and accuracy. These systems have the potential to enhance conversational AI by providing answers reflecting the most current and specific data. RAG can be used in various applications, including customer support chatbots, virtual assistants, agents, and content generation tasks. Tools like LangChain, Galileo's GenAI Studio, OpenAI GPT-3.5-turbo, Hugging Face Transformers, OpenAI Codex, IBM Watson Assistant, Microsoft Bot Framework, T5 (Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer), and others offer flexibility and customization options for building RAG systems. Each tool has its strengths and weaknesses, and choosing the right one depends on specific requirements such as retrieval speed, response accuracy, and system scalability. By leveraging an integrated platform like GenAI Studio or selecting tools that meet specific needs, developers can optimize RAG systems to enhance retrieval speed, response accuracy, and scalability.
