Session: Beyond the Chatbot: How to Leverage RAG for Smarter AI Assistants

As AI evolves, the expectations around AI-powered assistants are growing. Traditional chatbots, which rely on pre-programmed responses, can’t always meet the demand for accuracy and flexibility. In this talk, I’ll explore how we can move beyond these basic bots by leveraging Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to create smarter, more effective AI assistants.

I’ll walk you through real-world applications of RAG across various industries like customer support, finance, and healthcare, showing how RAG enhances accuracy, reduces latency, and drives better user interactions. But I’ll also share the challenges we face when implementing RAG, such as data quality, latency issues, and the risk of hallucinations. I’ll share best practices for overcoming these challenges and successfully integrating RAG into AI assistants.


Key Takeaways

  • How RAG combines retrieval-based search and generative AI to create smarter, more accurate AI assistants.
  • Real-world applications of RAG across industries like customer support, finance, and healthcare
  • Key challenges in implementing RAG, including data quality, latency, and hallucinations.
  • Best practices for successfully integrating RAG into AI assistants for personalized, context-aware responses.
  • How RAG can improve user interactions by delivering dynamic, real-time, and relevant responses.
