Knowledge Base (RAG)
Retrieval-Augmented Generation enables intelligent document search and context-aware AI responses grounded in your data.
What is RAG?#
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that enhances AI responses by retrieving relevant information from your documents before generating content. Instead of relying solely on the AI model's training data, RAG grounds responses in your specific data, resulting in more accurate, relevant, and factual outputs.
Grounded Responses
AI answers are based on your actual documents, not just general knowledge.
Source Citations
See exactly where information came from with automatic citations.
Semantic Search
Find relevant information based on meaning, not just keywords.
Automatic Indexing
All uploaded content is automatically indexed for fast retrieval.
Enterprise-Grade RAG
RAG Features#
RAG capabilities are integrated throughout PromptReports in several key areas:
| Feature | Location | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Chat with Reports | Any generated report | Ask questions about your report content with automatic context retrieval |
| Context Files | Prompt creation | Upload documents to provide context for AI-generated content |
| Source Citations | Throughout platform | AI automatically cites sources when referencing uploaded content |
| Semantic Search | Knowledge Base page | Find relevant information across all your documents |
Chat with Reports#
The "Ask the Report" chat feature lets you have a conversation with any generated report. The AI retrieves relevant sections from your report to answer your questions accurately.

Context Files#
When creating prompts, you can attach context files to ground AI responses in your data. Supported file types include PDF, TXT, DOCX, and more.
File Upload
Upload PDF, TXT, DOCX files directly as context for your prompts.
URL Import
Import content from web URLs to use as context.
Text Input
Paste text directly as context without uploading files.
Reusable Contexts
Save contexts to use across multiple prompts.
How It Works#
Under the hood, PromptReports uses a sophisticated pipeline to enable RAG:
Document Ingestion
Embedding Generation
Vector Storage
Query Processing
Retrieval

Pro Tips#
Best Practices for RAG
- Use high-quality source documents - RAG can only be as good as your data
- Keep documents focused on specific topics for better retrieval accuracy
- Use the Contexts page to manage and organize your context files
- Combine multiple smaller documents rather than one massive file
- Review citations to verify the AI is using the correct sources
- Update context files regularly to keep information current
