Knowledge and Retrieval
Retrieval in Agents24 is a system, not a single checkbox. The platform distinguishes:
- ingestion and transformation
- knowledge storage
- retrieval consumption during a run
Product mental model
- RAG pipelines build or refresh knowledge representations
- knowledge stores are the logical bridge
- agents consume retrieval results during runtime
Good first-use constraints
- use a narrow corpus
- prefer one knowledge path over many
- test with prompts where grounded context changes the answer
What success looks like
You should be able to tell:
- which documents were relevant
- whether retrieval improved the result
- whether missing or weak context caused the answer to degrade
