A glossary of RAG and document assistants

These terms describe a managed retrieval and evidence workflow, not an abstract chat experience.

Core concepts

  • RAG — retrieval-augmented generation: a model answers after searching a collection
  • Corpus — documents, fragments, and metadata used by an assistant
  • Chunking — preparing documents for precise retrieval
  • Embeddings — numerical representations used for semantic search

Answer controls

  • Source references — retrieved fragments behind an answer
  • Source-backed answer — wording grounded in collection material
  • Unsupported-claim control — rules that limit free conclusions without evidence
