Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Raiffeisen Switzerland wanted to capitalise on the collective internal knowledge hidden within its extensive company-specific text database, by creating a chat solution that accurately answers employees' questions in natural language.
The solution
Zühlke's cloud and data science team developed an Azure-based prototype web application called 'Ask your documents'. Employees ask text-based questions in an interactive chat interface; answers are generated automatically from company-specific documents, with references shown for verification. It uses large language models such as GPT-4 and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
Reported business value
According to the case study, the application lets employees retrieve information and get answers more efficiently, and improves hit rates and the general quality of answers compared with traditional search methods. No figures are given.
