AI Agent with RAG: Product Knowledge Base

Build intelligent product assistants with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Use SimpleRAGRetrieve to create AI agents that search, analyze, and recommend products from a knowledge base with semantic understanding.

What is RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)?

RAG enhances AI agents by combining the power of large language models with real-time information retrieval from your knowledge base

πŸ“š

Knowledge Base

Store your product data, documentation, or any information in a vector database. RAG transforms this data into searchable embeddings that capture semantic meaning.

πŸ”

Intelligent Retrieval

When users ask questions, RAG finds the most relevant information using semantic search, understanding context and meaning rather than just matching keywords.

πŸ€–

Augmented Responses

The AI agent uses retrieved information to generate accurate, contextual responses based on your actual data, reducing hallucinations and improving reliability.

How RAG Product Knowledge Works

Our Product Specialist agent uses SimpleRAGRetrieve to deliver intelligent product recommendations

1

Vector Store Initialization

Product data is embedded and stored in a vector database, enabling semantic search across product specifications, features, and descriptions. Each product becomes a searchable vector in the knowledge base.

2

Query Processing

The Product Specialist agent receives customer queries and uses SimpleRAGRetrieve to search the knowledge base with semantic understanding, capturing the intent behind questions.

3

Intelligent Retrieval

The RAG tool retrieves the top 4 most relevant products using similarity search, considering context and meaning rather than just keywords. It understands that "laptop for video editing" relates to processing power and storage.

4

Product Recommendation

Based on retrieved information, the agent provides detailed recommendations, comparing features and suggesting the best options for customer needs. It can handle complex queries like comparisons and specific use cases.

SimpleRAGRetrieve Features

  • βœ“Pre-loaded Data Support: Works with existing vector stores containing processed data
  • βœ“Flexible Vector Store Integration: Supports MemoryVectorStore, Pinecone, Weaviate, Qdrant, and all other LangChain-compatible vector databases
  • βœ“Customizable Components: Configure embeddings, retrieval options (k, searchType), and chunk sizes
  • βœ“Efficient Retrieval: Optimized for querying pre-existing knowledge bases with semantic search
  • βœ“Universal Embeddings Support: Compatible with all LangChain integrated embeddings including OpenAI, Cohere, HuggingFace, Google VertexAI, and more

Example Query

"I need a laptop for video editing and gaming. What do you recommend?"

The agent understands this requires high processing power, dedicated graphics, and ample storage, then retrieves and recommends the UltraBook Pro 15 with detailed specifications.

πŸ”§ Key Features

  • β€’ Works with pre-loaded vector stores
  • β€’ Supports Pinecone, MemoryVectorStore, Weaviate, Qdrant & more
  • β€’ Customizable chunk sizes and retrieval options
  • β€’ All LangChain embeddings: OpenAI, Cohere, HuggingFace, VertexAI, etc.
