Achieving Precision in AI: Retrieving the Right Data Using AI Agents

In the race to harness the power of generative AI, organizations are discovering a hidden challenge: precision. Models are only as effective as the data they access, yet most approaches to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) lack the dedicated, fine-tuned pipelines needed to ensure the right information is delivered at the right time.

Today, most RAG systems pull from vast, generalized data lakes, leading to noisy outputs and frustrating inefficiencies. The result? Wasted resources, inconsistent responses, and missed opportunities for real-time decision-making. But what if you could create an AI system that doesn’t just retrieve data—but understands its context, delivering precise, actionable insights in milliseconds?

This is where agenticRAG comes into play—a breakthrough in AI architecture that pairs dedicated retrieval pipelines with intelligent agents to deliver pinpoint accuracy. By segmenting your data storage and retrieval processes specifically for training vs. inference, you can achieve hyper-focused precision while dramatically reducing latency and costs.
Imagine an AI system that knows exactly what data it needs and how to get it with zero lag—a system that’s tuned to perform like a well-trained expert in your domain.

Curious to discover how you can optimize your AI applications for laser-focused accuracy? Join me as to learn more about AgenticRAG and fine tuning your models.

Beyond the Warehouse: Why BigQuery Alone Won’t Solve Your Data Problems

Wednesday Apr 9 / 03:55PM BST

Many organizations mistake the adoption of a data warehouse, like BigQuery, as the golden ticket to solving all their data challenges. But without a robust data strategy and architecture, you’re simply shifting chaos into the cloud.

The Data Backbone of LLM Systems

Wednesday Apr 9 / 02:45PM BST

Any LLM application has four dimensions you must carefully engineer: the code, data, models and prompts. Each dimension influences the other. That's why you must learn how to track and manage each. The trick is that every dimension has particularities requiring unique strategies and tooling.
