RAG Chatbot

A RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) chatbot is an AI system that enhances its responses by combining large language models (LLMs) with real-time retrieval of relevant external information. Unlike typical chatbots, which rely solely on their pre-trained knowledge, RAG chatbots can actively search through external databases, documents, or the internet to provide more accurate, up-to-date, and contextually relevant answers.
