The Problem
Enterprises have vast amounts of knowledge trapped in documents, wikis, and internal systems. Employees waste hours searching for information, and critical knowledge is often lost or inaccessible.
The Solution
Deploy a RAG platform with secure document ingestion, semantic search, and conversational AI that provides accurate answers with source citations while respecting access controls.
Overview
A complete enterprise RAG platform that enables employees to query internal documents, policies, and knowledge bases with AI-powered natural language search and answers with source citations.
Architecture
Components
Document Ingestion Pipeline
computeProcesses documents from various sources (SharePoint, Confluence, S3)
Service: AWS Lambda / OCI Functions
Semantic Chunker
computeSplits documents into meaningful chunks preserving context
Service: LangChain / LlamaIndex
Vector Database
databaseStores embeddings for semantic search
Service: Pinecone / Weaviate / pgvector
LLM Service
ai-serviceGenerates answers from retrieved context
Service: Claude / GPT-4 / OCI GenAI

Code Examples
RAG Query Implementation
Basic RAG query with citation support
from langchain.vectorstores import Pinecone
from langchain.chat_models import ChatAnthropic
def query_rag(question: str, top_k: int = 5):
# Retrieve relevant documents
docs = vectorstore.similarity_search(question, k=top_k)
# Build context from retrieved docs
context = "\n\n".join([d.page_content for d in docs])
# Generate answer with citations
response = llm.invoke(
f"Based on the following context, answer the question.\n\n"
f"Context:\n{context}\n\n"
f"Question: {question}\n\n"
f"Provide the answer with source citations."
)
return response, docsCost Estimate
$2,500
per month
$30,000
per year
Assumptions: 100K queries/month, 10K documents indexed, GPT-4 for generation
