RAG Development Services for Enterprise Knowledge

Answers from your knowledge, with the receipts.

Octobit8 builds retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that let AI answer from your documents, databases and policies, citing the source every time and respecting who is allowed to see what.

General AI models don't know your price lists, SOPs, clinical protocols or course material. Ask them anyway and they guess, confidently. RAG fixes this by retrieving the right passages from your own content and giving them to the model at answer time. Done well, it's accurate, current and auditable. Done badly, it retrieves the wrong page and sounds just as sure. The difference is engineering.

    Structured + unstructured RAG

    Systems that combine SQL queries over your databases with document retrieval in one answer.

  • 05

    Agentic RAG

    Retrieval that plans multiple searches, compares sources and asks follow-up questions before answering.

  • 06

    Graph RAG

    Knowledge-graph-backed retrieval for content where relationships matter, such as regulations or product catalogues.

02 / Principles

What sets it apart

Principles we apply on every engagement—so results are measurable, not just delivered.

Ingestion that respects structure

Layout-aware parsing of PDFs, tables, slides and scans with OCR, so headings and tables survive.

Smart chunking

Chunk sizes and boundaries tuned to your content type, with metadata for source, date, owner and access level.

Hybrid search

Semantic vector search combined with keyword (BM25) search, so exact codes, names and numbers are found.

Re-ranking

A second-stage re-ranker that puts the most relevant passages first.

Citations and grounding checks

Every answer links to its sources, and answers not supported by retrieved text are flagged or refused.

Access control & freshness

Document-level permissions synced from your source systems, plus incremental sync for new and changed documents.

05 / Process

How we work with you

A phased approach with clear artifacts—so stakeholders see progress weekly, not only at launch.

  1. 01

    Content audit

    We inventory your sources, formats, volumes, permissions and update frequency.

    • Source inventory
    • Access-control map
    • Update-frequency plan
  2. 02

    Question set

    With your team we write 50–200 real questions and correct answers to measure against.

    • Golden question set
    • Accuracy baseline target
  3. 03

    Pipeline build

    Ingestion, indexing, retrieval and generation tuned against that question set.

    • Working pipeline
    • Retrieval precision report
  4. 04

    Interface and integration

    Web app, Slack or Teams bot, WhatsApp, API or embedded widget.

    • Live interface
    • API docs
  5. 05

    Launch and monitor

    Usage analytics, unanswered-question reports and feedback loops that tell you which content to fix.

    • Analytics dashboard
    • Content-gap report

08 / Considerations

Good to know

Data handling

  • Enterprise model endpoints that do not train on your data
  • Deployable fully inside your own cloud account
  • Multilingual embedding and generation, tested per language you need

Accuracy is measured, not assumed

  • Target agreed with you and measured on your own question set before launch
  • Reports show exactly where content gaps are
  • RAG or fine-tuning — or both — chosen based on what your content actually needs

10 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will our data be used to train public models?
No. We use enterprise model endpoints that do not train on your data, and we can deploy fully inside your own cloud account.
How accurate will it be?
We agree the target with you and measure it on your own question set before launch. Accuracy depends mostly on content quality, and our reports show exactly where content gaps are.
Can it handle Hindi and other Indian languages?
Yes. We use multilingual embedding and generation models and test retrieval in each language you need.
RAG or fine-tuning?
RAG is usually the right first step for knowledge that changes. Fine-tuning suits fixed style, format or specialised reasoning. Many systems use both.
