Introduction

AI models have come a long way, but they still struggle with hallucinations — the generation of false or misleading information. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a solution by enhancing generative AI with real-time data retrieval, enabling more accurate, context-aware responses.

Amazon Bedrock simplifies RAG implementation, empowering developers to create AI applications that are reliable, scalable, and data-driven. In this blog, we’ll explore how RAG works in Amazon Bedrock, its benefits, real-world use cases, and best practices for building intelligent AI solutions.

What is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is a hybrid AI architecture that combines:

1. Information Retrieval — Pulls data from external sources (databases, documents, APIs).
2. Generative AI — Uses large language models (LLMs) to create context-aware responses based on retrieved…
