RAG Architecture Explained: From Documents to Answers

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

This article details the architecture of a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, explaining its core components and their responsibilities. It outlines a pipeline that includes document parsing, chunking, embedding, vector storage, semantic search, and response generation, emphasizing the importance of separating these stages for independent testing and reliable operation. The author uses their internal knowledge assistant, Guidely, as an example to illustrate how RAG systems retrieve relevant information from documents to construct answers, complete with citations. AI

IMPACT Provides a blueprint for building and scaling RAG systems, crucial for developing reliable AI-powered knowledge assistants and applications.

    RAG pipeline diagram: design, build, and scale

    <h2> Introduction </h2> <p>If you need a quick answer: a rag pipeline diagram maps the flow from raw documents through chunking, embedding, vector storage, retrieval, and finally LLM generation. I’ve built several of these in FastAPI, and the diagram helped me spot bottlenecks be…
