What is Local RAG?

With Local RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation), the AI reads your own documents: manuals, procedures, contracts and files. You then simply ask a question, such as “What is our notice period for suppliers?”, and receive an answer with a reference to the source files. Everything stays within your environment.

What can you do with it?

  • Answers from your own documentsThe AI searches your files and provides an answer based on what is in them.
  • Source referencesWith every answer, you see which documents the information comes from.
  • Respects permissionsEach user only receives answers from documents they have access to themselves.
  • Always up to dateNew and modified documents are automatically re-read.
  • Fully localWorks with an AI server at your own office or workplace, so your documents never leave your organisation.

Frequently asked questions

Why only from 51 users?

Reading, indexing and searching large document collections requires significant computing power. That’s why Local RAG is standard in the business package from 51 users. If you have fewer users, or want all AI processing to stay fully within your own organisation, you can choose your own AI PC with Local AI and RAG, which we supply and set up at your own workplace. Your documents and questions will then never leave your office.

Can a colleague see documents via the AI that aren’t meant for them?

No. The AI only uses documents that the person asking the question has access to themselves.
