Hire RAG Architects | TeamStation AI
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is the key to building LLM applications that are grounded in your private data, reducing hallucinations and providing accurate, up-to-date responses. Our RAG Architects are experts in designing and building the complex data pipelines that power these systems. We provide talent vetted for their expertise in data chunking, embedding models, vector databases, and retrieval strategies.
The Problem
LLMs trained on public data have no knowledge of your internal documents, databases, or real-time information. This leads to generic, unhelpful, or completely incorrect answers, making the application useless for specific business contexts.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our RAG Architects are experts in building data ingestion and retrieval pipelines. They are vetted on their ability to efficiently process, chunk, and embed your proprietary data into a vector database, and to design effective retrieval strategies that provide the LLM with the precise context it needs to generate relevant and accurate answers.
The Problem
Simply finding 'similar' documents is not enough. Poor chunking strategies, basic retrieval algorithms, and a lack of re-ranking can provide the LLM with irrelevant or conflicting information, leading to worse, not better, answers.
The TeamStation AI Solution
Our architects are masters of advanced retrieval techniques. They can implement sophisticated chunking strategies, use hybrid search (keyword + vector) to improve recall, and apply re-ranking models to ensure only the most relevant, high-quality context is passed to the LLM.
