Roadblock Title:

Double RAG: How out-of-the-box AI can help reduce decision times

Time:

Tuesday - 2:00 PM (Tower A)

Abstract:

AI offers numerous powerful use cases for business data and processes. However, many organizations face challenges, including the need for expensive software, lengthy development efforts, and teams of experts to implement effective AI solutions. In this discussion, we will demonstrate how organizations can lower the barriers to AI adoption. We will explore the concept of Retrieval-Augmented Generation using common AI providers, coupled with a simple RAG status system. This approach can effectively assist decision makers and significantly reduce the manual review time required. We will outline the process for implementing this solution, share lessons learned, and discuss the safeguards necessary to help decision makers understand the recommendations made and the underlying data.
