Agentic RAG

Build an agentic RAG pipeline that retrieves, reasons, and acts

Traditional RAG pipelines retrieve documents and stuff them into a prompt. Agentic RAG goes further — the agent decides what to retrieve, evaluates relevance, reformulates queries, and chains multiple retrieval steps until it has enough context to answer accurately. This blueprint shows you how to build a production-ready agentic RAG pipeline on EigenForge.

Implementation

  1. 1

    Index your knowledge base

    Chunk your documents, generate embeddings, and store them in a vector database. EigenForge connects to all major vector stores out of the box.

  2. 2

    Define the retrieval tool

    Create a tool that the agent can call to search your vector database. Configure similarity thresholds, result counts, and metadata filters.

  3. 3

    Build the agentic loop

    Configure the agent to evaluate retrieved results for relevance, reformulate queries when results are insufficient, and chain multiple retrieval steps before generating a final answer.

  4. 4

    Add guardrails and evaluation

    Set up citation verification, hallucination detection, and answer quality evaluation. Test against a benchmark set of questions with known answers.

  5. 5

    Deploy and monitor

    Deploy your agentic RAG pipeline with full observability — trace every retrieval step, LLM call, and decision point in production.

What You Get

  • Higher answer accuracy than naive RAG through multi-step retrieval
  • Agent adapts retrieval strategy based on query complexity
  • Full citation traceability from answer back to source documents
  • Production-ready with monitoring, evaluation, and guardrails
