This article details how to build a robust Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline for enterprise knowledge bases, emphasizing that RAG is an engineering discipline rather than magic. It highlights the limitations of keyword search for large, inconsistent corpora and explains how vector search, while better, can over-retrieve. The proposed solution is a hybrid retrieval layer combining keyword and vector search, often supported by modern vector databases like Pinecone, Qdrant, and Weaviate. The article also stresses the importance of a well-designed ingestion pipeline, including hierarchical chunking strategies and careful selection of embedding models evaluated against domain-specific data, to ensure accurate and coherent retrieval for language models.
