What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Introduction: Understanding LLM Hallucinations
When people say, “My LLM is hallucinating,” the issue may not reside solely with the language model itself. Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini have remarkable text generation abilities, but often fall short when answering domain-specific questions. This raises the question: what if the real problem is the lack of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)? With RAG, we can leverage our business's unique knowledge and significantly reduce AI's fabricated responses. Let's delve into what RAG is and how it transforms the interactions with LLMs.
1. What is RAG and Why It Matters
Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a technique that enhances LLM outputs by integrating relevant information from a database. When an LLM is asked a question, especially related to a specific industry or business documentation, it often struggles to provide accurate answers. This is because it lacks access to proprietary information such as:
- Your contracts
- Your internal documentation
- Your procedures
- Your product FAQs
Instead of relying on a disconnected web of general knowledge, RAG enables the LLM to engage with your unique data in real-time, vastly improving the relevance and accuracy of its responses.
2. Building an Effective RAG System
Creating a RAG system involves several strategic steps:
- Chunking: Break your documents into smaller, digestible pieces, making them easier to work with.
- Embeddings: Convert these pieces into mathematical vectors that can be searched effectively.
- Vector Database: Store these vectors, ensuring that each paragraph is retrievable based on relevance.
This systematic approach transforms your knowledge base into an intelligent tool that can be queried dynamically, providing more accurate and contextually relevant answers than a straightforward LLM query can achieve.
3. The Role of a Conversational Agent with RAG
When interacting with a conversational agent enhanced by RAG, the process changes significantly:
- When a question arises that requires internal knowledge, the agent queries the vector database.
- It injects relevant passages along with contextual prompts into the LLM's input.
- The LLM then generates a response not merely from remembered data but from actual, contextual evidence.
This integration leads to fewer hallucinations, reliable answers, and a genuinely helpful AI agent. The combination of LLMs and RAG creates a system where the AI becomes more like a well-informed domain expert than a mere parrot.
