RAG & Retrieval
Knowledge Base
A structured repository of information that an AI system can query to answer questions or provide context.
In depth
A structured repository of information that an AI system can query to answer questions or provide context. In AI applications, knowledge bases are often backed by vector databases and used in RAG pipelines, letting models access up-to-date, domain-specific facts that were not part of their training data.
Example
In practice, developers reach for Knowledge Base when they need the capability described above as part of an AI feature or workflow.
