Core Components of a RAG System
Discover the essential building blocks of a RAG pipeline, including document loading, embedding, vector stores, and retrieval.
RAG's Building Blocks
Let us break down a RAG system’s parts. Think of RAG as a smart librarian for your LLM, fetching the right facts from your own knowledge base.
Load Your Knowledge
It starts with document loading: pulling your knowledge in from any source — PDFs, web pages, databases, plain text — so the LLM can draw on it.
