RAG in a company: when it makes sense and what to watch for

RAG can be the fastest path to useful internal AI—if you control sources, permissions and evaluation.

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) connects an LLM to your approved knowledge sources so answers are grounded and traceable.

When RAG is a good fit

  • your team needs answers from policies, contracts, manuals
  • the content changes often
  • you need citations and auditability
  • permissions matter (teams shouldn’t see everything)

What you must design upfront

  • source selection and freshness
  • access control (RBAC)
  • evaluation (correctness + citation quality)
  • monitoring for drift and broken sources

If you want an assistant with permissions and citations, see RAG assistant.
