Taking Agents to the Next Level

1. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

Basic Concepts

• Combine LLMs with custom knowledge bases
• Real-time document retrieval
• Vector databases for semantic search
• Embedding generation and management

Advanced RAG Techniques

• Hybrid search (semantic + keyword)
• Document chunking strategies
• Dynamic context assembly
• Source attribution
• Re-ranking and filtering results

2. Advanced Memory Management

Types of Memory

• Working memory (current conversation)
• Long-term memory (persistent knowledge)
• Episodic memory (past interactions)
• Declarative memory (facts and relationships)
