6 Challenges with RAG

While RAG offers promising AI capabilities, transitioning from a proof of concept (POC) to a live environment presents challenges:

1

Monitoring and Control

Effective monitoring is essential to manage RAG outputs, a core challenge in achieving consistent quality with agentic precision.

2

Limited Visibility and User Feedback Integration

The lack the capability to fully see and understand user interactions, hindering the ability to control responses and integrate user feedback effectively.

3

Maintaining Relevance and Accuracy

Continuous updates and maintenance are necessary for RAG to stay relevant and accurate, a task that grows increasingly complex in live environments. 

4

Complex Integration

Integrating RAG into existing systems comes with high cost of technical labour and often becomes a hurdle in moving from POC to full-scale deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)? 

RAG is an AI approach that combines a retrieval component (searching a knowledge base) with a generative language model (like OpenAI GPT-4o and Anthropic Claude). When a user asks a question, the system first finds relevant documents or data (“retrieval”) and then conditions the LLM on that retrieved context to generate accurate, up-to-date answers. 

How does RAG work in practice? 

It consists of three parts, 1. Indexing your corpus (documents, FAQs, manuals) is embedded and stored in a search index. 2. Retrieval, at query time, relevant passages are fetched via similarity search. 3. Augmented Generation. The LLM ingests those passages alongside the user’s prompt, yielding answers grounded in your own data rather than just its pretrained weights.

What are the key benefits of RAG?

Accuracy & Relevance: Answers directly reference your source material. Up-to-Date Knowledge: You control updates, no reliance on a model’s training cutoff. Cost Efficiency: By narrowing the generation scope to retrieved snippets, you often reduce token usage. Customizability: You choose what content the AI Agent can “see,” ensuring domain alignment.

What challenges commonly arise when taking RAG from proof-of-concept to production?

1. Monitoring & Control: Ensuring the LLM doesn’t “hallucinate” or drift off-brand.
2. Visibility & Feedback: Gaining insights into which docs get used and how users interact.
3. Relevance & Maintenance: Keeping the indexed content fresh as your knowledge evolves.
4. Integration Overhead: Connecting retrieval, LLM, and your existing systems reliably.
5. Scalability: Serving high volumes of queries with consistent latency.
6. Performance Tuning: Balancing speed vs. answer quality at scale.

How does Teneo enhance a RAG deployment?

Teneo enhances RAG deployments in following ways:

1. Leveraing Stanford University’s FrugalGPT & Prompt Tuning: Dramatically reduce AI costs (up to 98 %) while boosting answer precision.
2. Monitoring Suite: access to analytics to expose retrieval behavior, confidence metrics, and fallback rates.
3. Control Features: Fine-grained filters and override rules ensure consistency with your brand and compliance requirements.
4. Orchestration Layer: Seamlessly wire retrieval, LLM, and business-rule engines into your existing channels and systems.
