Agentic RAG connection

Progress® Agentic RAG is a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform offered as SaaS, designed to index and query unstructured data (documents, audio, video, web content, etc.) and return grounded, generative answers via Large Language Models (LLMs). It emphasizes trust, quality metrics, and integration flexibility rather than being just a chat interface.

At a high level it provides:

• Indexing of unstructured and structured data in multiple formats and languages.
  
• RAG pipeline orchestration: retrieving relevant context and augmenting LLM input to reduce hallucination and increase relevance.
  
• AI agents to automate data ingestion, retrieval, enrichment and reasoning steps.
  
• APIs and SDKs for Python and JS/TS for programmatic use.

The Sitefinity CMS connector enables you to index selected content types and make them available to AI systems through Agentic RAG knowledge boxes.

For more information on knowledge boxes, see Agentic RAG Documentation.
