RAG development · Vancouver
RAG development services in Vancouver
Ship faster with senior engineers at offshore rates, overlapping your morning with a daily live stand-up.
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.
Canadian companies most often hire us for clinic and healthcare automation, AI agents and custom web 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.
How we work with Vancouver clients
Time-zone overlap
With flexible shifts we cover a daily stand-up in Pacific time, and work moves forward overnight so updates are ready each morning.
PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws
We build to PIPEDA principles (consent, limited collection, safeguards and access), keep data in Canadian cloud regions when required, and sign NDAs and data agreements before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in Canadian dollars (CAD) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for Vancouver's key sectors
Vancouver startups and product teams use us for SaaS, mobile and AI products, with privacy designed in line with PIPEDA and data hosted in Canada when required.
Natural resources and energy
Mining and oil firms digitise field operations and reporting. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.
Financial services
Major banks and fintechs modernise digital banking. We start with one costly process and automate it end to end.
AI research and tech
Strong AI ecosystem fuels startups shipping ML products. We build AI agents, assistants and automation around these workflows.
Agriculture and food
Farm and food producers adopt supply-chain and traceability tools. AI here usually means faster reporting, fewer manual steps and better customer replies.

RAG development services: questions from Vancouver
Do you work with companies in Vancouver?+
Yes. Clarigo Infotech works with companies across Vancouver, including Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, as part of clients in 20+ countries. Canadian companies most often hire us for clinic and healthcare automation, AI agents and custom web and mobile apps. We work remotely from India with one in-house team.
What time-zone overlap do we get from Vancouver?+
With flexible shifts we cover a daily stand-up in Pacific time, and work moves forward overnight so updates are ready each morning.
How do you handle PIPEDA and provincial privacy laws?+
We build to PIPEDA principles (consent, limited collection, safeguards and access), keep data in Canadian cloud regions when required, and sign NDAs and data agreements before work starts.
Which currency do you bill in, and what does it cost?+
We bill in Canadian dollars (CAD) or US dollars. Senior engineers typically cost $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, and fixed-scope projects such as an MVP in 25 to 30 days are quoted after a free consultation.
What time are your meetings in Vancouver time?+
Our core hours fall outside your day, so we run a flexible shift for a daily stand-up at about 09:30 Vancouver time, and the rest of the work moves forward overnight.
Can you build in English and French?+
Yes. We build interfaces and content in English and French, and test them with native speakers before launch.
Where will our data be hosted?+
Usually in AWS Canada (Central) and Canada West (Calgary), Google Cloud Montreal and Toronto, or wherever your data rules require. Everything runs in your own cloud account, so you stay in control.
What is RAG (retrieval-augmented generation)?+
RAG is a way of building AI assistants that first search your own documents and data for relevant information, then use a language model to answer from what was found, usually with citations.
How is RAG different from a normal chatbot?+
A normal chatbot answers from what the model learned in training. A RAG assistant answers from your current, private information, so it is more accurate for your business and can show its sources.
