Developer details advanced 7-step RAG chatbot pipeline

A developer details an enhanced 7-step pipeline for building an AI chatbot that provides local government information. The improved system addresses limitations of basic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) by reconstructing user queries based on conversation history and combining all relevant document chunks rather than just those found through vector search. Additionally, the pipeline includes a context validation step using an LLM to ensure the retrieved information is appropriate before generating an answer. AI

IMPACT Provides a practical example of improving RAG systems for more accurate and context-aware AI chatbots.
