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 engineering challenge and also exhibit undesirable traits. To help solve this, Google released the File Search Tool on the Gemini API, a fully managed RAG system “that abstracts away the retrieval pipeline.” File Search removes much of the tool and application-gathering involved in setting up RAG pipelines, so engineers don’t need to stitch together things like storage solutions and embedding creators. This tool competes directly with enterprise RAG products from OpenAI, AWS and Microsoft, which also aim to simplify RAG architecture. Google, though, claims its offering requires less [...]
Something shifted in enterprise RAG in Q1 2026. VB Pulse data spanning January through March tells a consistent story: the market stopped adding retrieval layers and started fixing the ones it already [...]
We first checked out Displace TV back at CES 2023 and were pretty impressed with the company's 55-inch 4K OLED screen — it was wireless, had hot-swappable batteries and you could stick it onto [...]
Across 101 enterprises, the context feeding AI agents is failing often and repeatedly. Sixty-eight percent have traced a confident but wrong agent answer to missing or inconsistent business context in [...]
Enterprise AI has largely been built around context engineering. Teams connect enterprise systems, generate chunks and embeddings, build retrieval pipelines, and assemble the context needed by individ [...]
For a quarter century, the Google search box has been one of the most recognizable interfaces in computing: a thin white rectangle, a blinking cursor, a few typed words, and a list of blue links. On T [...]
Nimble, a New York City-based tech startup VentureBeat previously covered for its efforts to re-invent web search for enterprises by using multiple AI agents to improve accuracy and depth, is taking a [...]
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 [...]
