Qlik Answers combines technologies to deliver reliable and
efficient access to unstructured data. At its core, the solution
uses Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), which merges
retrieval-based and generative AI methods. This technique
dynamically retrieves relevant documents from pre-indexed knowledge
bases and generates precise, contextually relevant responses. By
leveraging modern generative models, Qlik Answers can interpret and
synthesize information from diverse sources, providing users with
concise and actionable answers.
To ensure seamless integration with existing systems, Qlik
Answers utilizes Qlik’s trusted enterprise connectors. These
connectors allow the solution to access a wide range of
unstructured data sources without requiring extensive data movement
or reconfiguration. This approach not only simplifies deployment
but also maintains data integrity and accessibility. Additionally,
Qlik Answers is designed with full explainability and transparency
in mind. All AI-generated answers are traceable back to their
original sources, enabling users to verify and trust the
information presented.
Qlik Answers is also self-service oriented, allowing business
users to deploy and manage AI-driven knowledge assistants without
needing extensive technical expertise or custom development. This
ease of use ensures that organizations can quickly benefit from the
solution, supporting real-time business activities and enhancing
decision-making processes.
