Is your RAG Broken?

Full Video Transcript

If your AI keeps hallucinating or giving outdated answers, the problem isn’t the model, it’s your openloop rag architecture.

Most rag systems are built as a simple linear pipeline.
Input goes in, documents get retrieved, the answer comes out, looks fine in a demo, breaks completely in the real world.

Why?
Because it pulls documents based on similarity, not usefulness.
If the data is stale or irrelevant, the error just flows through silently, and trust erodess one bad answer at a time.

This is where self-healing rag changes the game.
Instead of a fragile pipeline, you build a closed loop system, one that checks itself before answering.

Here’s what self-healing rag actually adds.

First, corrective rag.
It grades the retrieved documents.
If they are weak or incomplete, it doesn’t guess.
It falls back to live search.

Second, smarter ranking.
Cross-enccoders rescore results so the model sees the most useful context, not just the most similar text.

Third, learning over time.
Successful answers get stored.
Future queries get better automatically.
Your system now improves rather than degrades.

This is the shift from search to reasoning.

Teams using these patterns aren’t just faster, they’re safer.
In real deployments, a 75% reduction in initial research time is typical.

No constant manual updates, no silent failures, no fragile demos.

If you want productionready AI, stop building open loop rag.
Build systems that can detect, correct, and learn.
