π How It Works
RAG enhances LLMs by:
- Using external documents to provide relevant context
- Improving the modelβs ability to generate accurate and coherent responses
- Expanding the modelβs knowledge beyond its fixed data set
βοΈ Usage Instructions
After installation, follow these steps to use the application:
- Open RAG From Scratch.
- Select your data source for retrieval.
- Input your query in the designated text box.
- Click the βGenerateβ button to receive context-aware responses based on your input and the retrieved documents.
