Amazon Web ServicesGoogle Cloud PlatformMicrosoft AzureOracle Cloud Infrastructure

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.

Components

Document Ingestion Pipeline

compute

Processes documents from various sources (SharePoint, Confluence, S3)

Service: AWS Lambda / OCI Functions

compute

Splits documents into meaningful chunks preserving context

Service: LangChain / LlamaIndex

Vector Database

database

Stores embeddings for semantic search

Service: Pinecone / Weaviate / pgvector

LLM Service

ai-service

Generates 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, docs
