Connect a language model to your knowledge base with retrieval, citations and access controls.

Recommended structure

  1. IntroductionConnect a language model to your knowledge base with retrieval, citations and access controls.
  2. Search before generatingRAG retrieves relevant passages before asking a model to answer. This adds document context without retraining the model for every update. Search can combine keywords and semantic similarity to match the meaning of a question.
  3. Example: an internal procedureAn employee asks how to request equipment. The assistant finds the approved procedure, explains the steps and links the source. If nothing relevant is found, it should say so. Citations help verification but do not guarantee correctness.
  4. Respect document permissionsFilter documents by user permissions before retrieval reaches the model. Remove obsolete versions and test questions with known answers. Treat instructions inside retrieved files as untrusted data, not permission to perform actions.
  5. ConclusionRetrieval quality and answer evaluation matter as much as the model.

Writing tips

  • Start with a concrete problem your reader is facing
  • Use real examples — abstract explanations lose readers quickly
  • Break long paragraphs into scannable sections with clear headings
  • End every section with an actionable insight, not just information

The essential point : Retrieval quality and answer evaluation matter as much as the model.
