Chat Interface¶

Overview¶

The chat interface allows you to ask questions about your uploaded documents. RetrievAI uses RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) to find relevant context and generate accurate responses.

Using Chat¶

Navigate to the Chat section
Type your question in the input field
Press Enter or click Send

The system will:

Search your documents for relevant chunks
Use the retrieved context to generate a response
Display the answer with source citations

Tips for Better Results¶

Be Specific¶

Instead of:

"Tell me about the report"

Try:

"What were the Q3 revenue figures mentioned in the financial report?"

Reference Document Content¶

The AI works best when your questions relate to information actually in your documents.

Follow Up¶

You can ask follow-up questions to drill deeper into a topic. The chat maintains context within a conversation.

Source Citations¶

Responses include citations showing which document chunks were used. Click on a citation to view the source text.
