Capability

Knowledge & RAG Systems

Enterprise knowledge systems that answer questions from your own policies, procedures and documents, with citations to the source. Retrieval respects existing permissions and works across Arabic and English content.

The quality of a knowledge assistant is decided long before the model answers: in how documents are prepared, split, indexed, secured and evaluated.

02Components

What this capability covers

  1. 01

    Document ingestion

    Connectors for file shares, intranets and document systems, with cleaning, chunking and metadata that preserve structure.

  2. 02

    Bilingual retrieval

    Hybrid keyword and semantic search tuned for Arabic and English, including mixed-language documents.

  3. 03

    Permission-aware answers

    Users only receive answers drawn from documents they are allowed to see.

  4. 04

    Citations and evaluation

    Every answer links to its sources, and answer quality is measured against a curated question set.

03Implementation

How we implement it

Before building the index, we assemble a question set with your subject-matter experts and use it to measure retrieval and answer quality throughout. Chunking and metadata follow the structure of your documents, which matters more than the choice of model.

  • Hybrid retrieval combines keyword and semantic search for Arabic and English.
  • Access control is enforced at retrieval time, not only in the interface.
  • When the sources are insufficient, the assistant says so instead of guessing.

05Use cases

Typical applications

Patterns this capability is designed for, not a list of delivered projects.

  1. 01

    Policy and procedure assistant

    Employees ask in their own words and receive answers with links to the governing document.

  2. 02

    Contract and tender search

    Legal and procurement teams find clauses and obligations across large document sets.

  3. 03

    Technical documentation

    Engineers and operators query manuals and maintenance records while on the job.
