What is RAG?
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) explained in plain language for AI learners and builders.
RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) means the model retrieves relevant documents or facts before answering, so responses can cite or ground on your content instead of only parametric memory.
Agents often combine RAG (knowledge) with tools/MCP (actions). Practise retrieval-aware workflows in Amro Academy courses after you understand basic prompting.
