LLM & RAGArtificial IntelligenceConversation, search and reasoning over your company's data.

Conversation, search and reasoning over your company's data.

We design conversational systems powered by your documents, databases and APIs. We combine frontier Large Language Models with Retrieval-Augmented Generation architectures to deliver reliable, cited, traceable answers — not hallucinations.

§ A

Overview

General-purpose LLMs don't know your company. Our RAG practice closes the gap: we index internal knowledge (manuals, contracts, tickets, knowledge bases, code, email), make it semantically searchable and inject it into the model's context at query time.

The result: answers that cite the exact source, stay up to date as documents change, respect user permissions and work in Italian, English and 20+ languages. It runs on-premise, in private cloud or on managed models (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock, Vertex AI).

§ B

What's included

  • Discovery of high-value use cases (helpdesk, sales support, onboarding, compliance, knowledge search)
  • Automated document ingestion from SharePoint, Confluence, Drive, Notion, file systems, databases and APIs
  • Chunking, embedding and vector indexing with domain-tuned strategies
  • Re-ranking and hybrid search pipelines (semantic + keyword) for higher accuracy
  • Guardrails on PII, prompt injection, toxic output and out-of-scope content
  • Continuous evaluation with test datasets and RAGAS metrics
  • White-label conversational UI or integration into Teams, Slack, existing intranets

Frequently asked questions

Q/01Does my data stay private?+

Yes. We only work with providers that guarantee no-training on prompts (Azure OpenAI, AWS Bedrock) or with self-hosted open-source models. All data stays within your perimeter, encrypted at rest and in transit.

Q/02How much does it cost?+

A PoV starts around €25–40k. Runtime costs depend on query volume and chosen models — typically between €0.001 and €0.05 per query.

Q/03What happens when the model is wrong?+

Every answer cites its sources so the user can verify. We implement guardrails, fallback to a human operator and full logging for audit.

Q/04Can I use my own on-premise model?+

Absolutely. We support Llama, Mistral, Qwen and other open-weights with vLLM or TGI on on-prem or private cloud GPUs.
