Technical Knowledge Assistant (RAG)

In one sentence

Ask a question about your own field in Persian, Arabic, English or Spanish and get an answer with the report and page it came from.

The problem

The answer to most operational questions already exists somewhere in the operator’s own archive. Finding it requires knowing which report to look in, which in practice means asking the one engineer who has been there twenty years.

How it works

Retrieval-augmented generation over the operator’s indexed archive, running entirely on on-premise models. Retrieval is hybrid — dense and lexical — with domain-aware chunking that keeps tables and figure captions intact. Every answer must cite its sources; an answer the system cannot ground in a retrieved document is refused rather than generated, which is the single most important design decision in this capability.

Data required

  • Indexed document archive from the OCR and classification pipeline
  • On-premise GPU capacity for embedding and generation
  • Access control model defining which users may see which documents
  • A question set from domain experts for evaluation

What you get

  • Natural-language answers with citations to document, page and passage
  • Source passages displayed alongside every answer for verification
  • Query log showing what people actually ask, which guides archive priorities

What it cannot do

The assistant only knows what is in the indexed archive. It cannot answer a question whose answer was never written down, and it will say so rather than infer. Retrieval quality in Persian and Arabic is measurably below English for the same corpus size, and multi-hop questions that require combining three documents remain a weak point across the industry, not only here.

Every capability page states a real limitation. If a vendor cannot tell you where their product stops, you are not being told the truth about where it starts.
