Cloud-managed file transfer does not have to drag your private endpoints onto a cloud execution path like luggage through a busy airport. Where the agent sits changes everything, and no amount of console polish will change that for you.
AI agents can plan tasks, call tools and adjust their approach as the work unfolds, but the knowledge they start with is frozen at training time. In this post, we'll discuss how RAG helps AI agents retrieve current, relevant and verifiable information before they reason or act, so their decisions rest on real sources instead of model memory.
Traditional RAG systems are designed around a simple idea: find the most relevant information, add it to the prompt and generate an answer. This works well for questions where the answer can be found in a small set of relevant documents.
An agentic workflow is a multi-step process where an AI agent plans the steps, picks tools, acts and adjusts based on what comes back, instead of following a script written in advance. In this post, we walk through how that loop runs, where it beats traditional automation, and the guardrails it needs in production.
