RAG development · Japan
RAG development services in Japan
Detailed specifications, careful testing and reliable schedules, with a team overlapping most of your afternoon.
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.
Japanese companies most often hire us for AI automation, enterprise systems and mobile apps.

Quality, detail and reliability
Teams in Japan and Korea expect precise specifications, thorough testing and schedules that hold. We plan in detail, report regularly and treat quality as non-negotiable.
Detailed specifications
Written requirements, screen specifications and acceptance criteria agreed before development.
Thorough testing
Automated and manual testing with reports at every milestone.
Reliable schedules
Realistic plans, regular written progress reports and early warning of any risk.
Long-term partnership
The same team maintains and improves the product after launch.
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.
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.
Remote, but close to Japan
Time-zone overlap
Japan is three and a half hours ahead of India, so our working days overlap for most of your afternoon, with a stand-up and same-day replies.
Japan's Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI)
We design to the APPI: clear purpose of use, security controls, rules for third-party and cross-border transfers, and data hosted in Japanese cloud regions when required. We sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in Japanese yen (JPY) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Where we help Japan businesses most
Japanese companies value careful specifications, quality and reliable schedules. We work with detailed written specs, thorough testing and regular reports, and design to Japan's APPI privacy law.
Automotive
Carmakers invest in connected-car software and factory automation. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
Electronics and robotics
Hardware makers need companion apps and embedded AI. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Gaming and anime
Entertainment firms reach global fans through apps and stores. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Retail and convenience
Chains run loyalty apps and cashless checkout. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.

How it works
Week 1: discovery and design
We agree the use case, success measures and data, and show you a clickable design.
Weeks 2-3: build and integrate
We build, connect it to your systems and data, and demo working software every week.
Week 4: test and launch
