RAG-as-a-Service

Your docs, searchable by an agent that cites every answer.A fully managed retrieval-augmented agent over your knowledge base. We index your docs, build the retrieval pipeline, evaluate citation accuracy, and operate it month over month. Your team asks questions in Slack, the customer-facing widget, or your app — the agent answers with citations or admits it does not know.

Where this fits in the services matrix.

Every service page now names the buyer state, the commercial shape, and the next route. That keeps the catalog navigable instead of feeling like disconnected offers.

The offer is a route, not a loose task list.

This diagram gives every service page a concrete operating model: intake, system design, implementation, proof, and handoff.

RAG-as-a-Service moves from fit check to scoped work, then into build/proof/handoff so the buyer can understand how the engagement actually runs.

01// what you walk away with

The outcome, not just the output.

  • 01Production RAG agent over your knowledge base
  • 02Citation-grounded answers (every claim links back to source)
  • 03Eval suite that catches retrieval drift
  • 04Slack / widget / API endpoints ready to use
  • 05Honest "I do not know" behavior on out-of-scope questions
02// scope

Concrete artifacts you keep — and what we leave out.

Working code, written docs, dashboards your team owns. We also list what this engagement deliberately does not cover, so scope is honest before you click.

// deliverables
  • Indexed corpus (up to 50k pages) with chunking strategy tuned to content
  • Retrieval pipeline with re-ranker + hybrid search (vector + BM25)
  • Citation-formatted response template with source links
  • Eval harness: 50+ Q&A pairs scored on accuracy + citation correctness
  • Slack bot + JS widget + REST endpoint
  • 30 days of post-launch monitoring + tuning
// not included
  • Annotation labor at scale (we set up the loop; ongoing labeling is on you)
  • Multi-tenant authorization layer (separate engagement)
  • Translation of source docs (English-only by default)

04// questions

Common questions.

01How big can the corpus be?
We index up to 50k pages in the base scope. Larger corpuses (100k+) add 1 week and are priced separately.
02What is the ongoing cost?
Vector storage runs $20–$200/mo depending on volume. LLM inference depends on traffic — typical SMB: $40–$400/mo. You pay these directly (BYOK).
03How accurate is it really?
On the eval suite we ship, expect 85–95% citation accuracy out of the gate. We tune to your domain in the 30-day post-launch window.

A 30-minute call to confirm fit, scope, and timeline. No pressure, no slides.

automation system

From offer to operating system.

RAG-as-a-Service is presented as a real engagement, not a generic service page: the surface, backend shape, delivery artifacts, and conversion path are all visible before the first call.

Scope ⇄ Ship

The page now exposes how the engagement moves from buyer pain to production artifact, then into measurement and next-step routing.

Conversion path

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    Confirm the real automation constraint, current surface, and business goal before writing code.

  2. 02

    Design the system

    Turn the offer into screens, data, workflows, ownership boundaries, and a measurable delivery plan.

  3. 03

    Ship the artifact

    Deliver RAG-as-a-Service as working code, docs, dashboards, or launch assets your team can actually use.

  4. 04

    Route the next move

    Decide whether the work becomes a one-time delivery, a care plan, or a larger product build.
