Building a Custom Robust Retrieval Augmented Generation Chatbot

<p>In today&rsquo;s emerging AI market landscape, chatbots are a much desired additional value for many businesses and sectors. Driven by tremendous funding and highly active open-source innovation and research, the bet on generative AI, chatbots particularly, is growing heavier as the technology becomes more powerful and reliable by the minute.</p> <p>Assuming reliability, there are still two immediate concerns for businesses willing to integrate AI chatbots into their workflow, products, and services: full customizability, and data privacy. While the stakes for data privacy are fairly known, full customizability is an integral, yet often undervalued, property of robust chatbot systems. Even within a single business, the needs can be very diverse and certainly evolve with time. Therefore, a robust chatbot system should be fully customizable in that it can be tailored to today&rsquo;s needs without being too rigid in anticipation of future requirements and data.</p> <p>At Astrafy SA, I built a robust Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) chatbot named&nbsp;<em>Astrabot</em>, designed to fulfill any role that requires information retrieval and for any use case. Just feed the system your text documents in &ldquo;plug-and-play&rdquo;-style, and it will become an expert at answering any question about these documents in seconds and in the most human-like fashion, while still being able to carry out normal conversations that do not require information retrieval.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.astrafy.io/building-a-custom-robust-retrieval-augmented-generation-chatbot-8ab73a371eb8">Visit Now</a></p>
