What is Agentic RAG?

Agentic RAG represents a new paradigm in Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

While traditional RAG retrieves information to improve the accuracy of model outputs, Agentic RAG goes a step further by integrating autonomous agents that can plan, reason, and act across multi-step workflows.

This approach allows systems to:

  • Break down complex problems into smaller steps.
  • Decide dynamically which sources to retrieve and when.
  • Optimize workflows in real time for tasks such as legal reasoning, enterprise automation, or scientific research.

In other words, Agentic RAG doesn’t just provide better answers, but it strategically manages the retrieval process to support more accurate, efficient, and explainable decision-making.
