Making Company Knowledge Work
How can you turn internal documentation, Confluence pages, PDFs, and even codebases into a usable knowledge assistant? In this TechTalk we will explore how Retrieval Augmented Generation makes this possible. You will learn how RAG works in practice, discover real use cases, get architecture tips, and hear about common pitfalls to avoid.
Retrieval Augmented Generation
Generative AI is transforming the way we work. Large Language Models are powerful, but they also have clear limits. They can hallucinate and they only know what they were trained on, which means they miss the latest information. RAG provides the answer. It connects models to your own knowledge so they stop guessing and start delivering reliable results.
Walter Heck, Technology Executive and Co-Founder and CTO of Helixiora, will guide you through the concepts, challenges, and opportunities of RAG. From vector databases and embedding algorithms to GraphRAG and tool calling, he will show you how to bridge the gap between overwhelming information and actionable insight.
This 45 minute session blends clear explanation with real examples, giving you practical ideas to apply directly in your own projects.
Register now to join this TechTalk at the SUE office, De Ooyen 9 in Geldermalsen. After the session, stay for dinner and drinks and continue the conversation.
