Powerful Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) tool that allows you to query the documents in your document database using natural language.
When to Use It
- For factual questions requiring precise information contained in your documents, and potentially buried in a large document base.
- For traceable results with references to sources
How to Activate It
- Click on "Select a tool" in the chat area
- Choose "DocumentSearch"
- A visual indicator will show that the tool is selected
Effective Formulation
- Ask precise and direct questions
- Mention the key concepts you are looking for
- Specify the type of information desired (definition, process, date, etc.)
Understanding the Results
- By default, DocumentSearch will search in all documents you have access to (Company documents, workspaces you have access to, personal documents). You can limit the documents among which you want to search by attaching them via the paperclip icon before asking your question.
- The source documents used to generate the response are displayed, with the ability to navigate and display the specific pages (or even highlighted passages, depending on the formats) on which the assistant relied.
Limitations
- The tool will rely on at most 5 document extracts (~5 pages) to formulate its answer. It will therefore not be able to effectively propose a synthesis of several documents, or answer a question requiring taking into account more than 5 pages of context at the same time.
- If the answer is not found in the documents, the assistant will respond based on its prior knowledge (i.e., its pre-training, as in no-tool mode). It will therefore not display a source and will specify at the end of the response that its answer is not based on your documents.
