RAG development · Auckland

RAG development services in Auckland

Practical, no-nonsense delivery from a senior team that overlaps your afternoon and works while you sleep.

Clarigo Infotech builds retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems: AI search and assistants that find the right information in your documents, databases and knowledge base, then answer with sources. RAG keeps answers accurate and current without retraining a model, and respects who is allowed to see what.

New Zealand companies most often hire us for SaaS products, AI automation and mobile apps.

What we do

What we build with RAG

Chat with your documents

Ask questions across PDFs, policies, manuals and contracts and get answers with citations.

Enterprise knowledge assistants

One place for staff to find answers across Google Drive, SharePoint, Confluence and more.

Customer support answers

Grounded answers for support teams and chatbots, drawn from your help centre and product data.

Search over structured data

Combine document search with SQL and APIs so answers include live numbers.

Permission-aware retrieval

Users only get answers from content they are allowed to see.

Evaluation and tuning

Test sets that measure retrieval and answer quality, and tuning until they pass.

In depth

How we approach RAG development

Why RAG instead of fine-tuning

Fine-tuning changes how a model writes; RAG changes what it knows at the moment it answers. For most business questions RAG is cheaper, easier to update and easier to audit, because every answer points to its source.

Getting retrieval right

Quality depends on how documents are cleaned, split, embedded and searched. We use hybrid search (keyword plus vector), re-ranking and metadata filters, and test retrieval separately from the final answer.

Keeping it current and secure

Connectors keep the index in sync as documents change, and access rules from your source systems are applied at query time so nobody sees what they shouldn't.

Measured, not guessed

We build a test set of real questions with expected answers and track accuracy, citation quality and 'I don't know' rates, so you can see improvement and catch regressions.
