Most RAG systems don’t understand sophisticated documents — they shred them
By now, many enterprises have deployed some form of RAG. The promise is seductive: index your PDFs, connect an LLM and instantly democratize your corporate knowledge.But for industries dependent on heavy engineering, the reality has been underwhelming. Engineers ask specific questions about infrastructure, and the bot hallucinates.The failure isn't in the LLM. The failure is in the preprocessing.Standard RAG pipelines treat documents as flat strings of text. They use "fixed-size chunking" (cutting a document every 500 characters). This works for prose, but it destroys the logic of technical manuals. It slices tables in half, severs captions from images, and ignores the visual hierarchy of the page.Improving RAG reliability isn't about buying a bigger model; it's a [...]

Databricks' Instructed Retriever beats traditional RAG data retrieval by 70% — enterprise metadata was the missing link
A core element of any data retrieval operation is the use of a component known as a retriever. Its job is to retrieve the relevant content for a given query. In the AI era, retrievers have been used a [...]
Snowflake builds new intelligence that goes beyond RAG to query and aggregate thousands of documents at once
Enterprise AI has a data problem. Despite billions in investment and increasingly capable language models, most organizations still can't answer basic analytical questions about their document re [...]
Why Google’s File Search could displace DIY RAG stacks in the enterprise
By now, enterprises understand that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) allows applications and agents to find the best, most grounded information for queries. However, typical RAG setups could be an [...]
With 91% accuracy, open source Hindsight agentic memory provides 20/20 vision for AI agents stuck on failing RAG
It has become increasingly clear in 2025 that retrieval augmented generation (RAG) isn't enough to meet the growing data requirements for agentic AI.RAG emerged in the last couple of years to bec [...]
Conversational AI doesn’t understand users — 'Intent First' architecture does
The modern customer has just one need that matters: Getting the thing they want when they want it. The old standard RAG model embed+retrieve+LLM misunderstands intent, overloads context and misses fre [...]
