What is RAG? AI chatbots that answer from your own data

Insights · August 2026

One of the most common questions about AI chatbots is: how does it actually know anything about my business? The answer is often RAG — Retrieval-Augmented Generation. It sounds technical, but the concept is simple: the chatbot is given access to your own documents and data, and answers based on them.

Why your chatbot needs RAG

A standard chatbot answers from what it was trained on — general knowledge, not your business. A RAG chatbot, on the other hand, retrieves the relevant information from your FAQs, prices, product catalogue and documents, and builds its answer on top of it. The result: accurate answers based on your data — not generic guesses.
