Having this RAG layer was always another thing to try for me. I haven't coded it myself, and super interested if this gives a real boost while working with Claude. Curious from anyone who have already tried the service, what's your feedback? Did you feel you're getting real improvements?

Wouldn’t call it just RAG though. Agentic discovery and semantic search are the way to go right now, so Nia combines both approaches. For example, you can dynamically search through a documentation tree or grep for specific things.

We call it agentic RAG. The retriever is an agent. It’s still RAG

Which would be much better than the techniques used in 2023. As context windows increase, combining them becomes even easier.

There are a lot of ways of how you can interpret agentic rag, pure rag, etc
