RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enhances LLMs by grounding them in external knowledge sources like specified documents such as code files.
It allows AI systems to retrieve relevant information from the codebase before generating answers, improving accuracy and reliability.
Setting up a RAG system for a codebase involves steps like creating a Vertex AI RAG Corpus, importing staged code files, defining tools for models like Gemini, and using SDK clients for queries.
Vertex AI RAG Engine provides a managed platform for handling data ingestion, vectorization, indexing, and retrieval, transforming how developers interact with and understand code.
