Grounding AI assistants in your own data
Sample article — general educational guidance, not specific professional advice.
Most useful business assistants are not about the biggest model — they are about grounding answers in your approved sources.
Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pulls relevant passages from your content at query time, so the assistant answers from what you actually have, with citations users can verify.
The hard parts are rarely the model: they are permissions, content quality, evaluation and guardrails. Invest there and trust follows.
Start with one team and real content, measure answer quality, then expand. This is general guidance, not specific advice for your situation.
