RAG development · New Zealand
RAG development services in New Zealand
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 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 New Zealand
Time-zone overlap
Indian mornings overlap with New Zealand afternoons, so you get a daily stand-up in your working day, and work moves forward overnight.
The New Zealand Privacy Act 2020
We design to the Information Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 2020, host data in Australian or New Zealand cloud regions when required, and sign NDAs and data agreements before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in New Zealand dollars (NZD) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Where we help New Zealand businesses most
New Zealand companies work with us for SaaS, AI automation and mobile apps, getting senior engineering capacity with a working overlap every day and progress overnight.
Dairy and agriculture
Exporters invest in farm data and supply-chain traceability. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
