AI Chat & RAG Queries

How do I ask questions about my documents?

Simply type your question in natural language in the chat interface. Archevi will:

  1. Search your documents for relevant information
  2. Synthesize an answer from multiple sources
  3. Cite which documents the answer came from

Example questions:

  • "When does my car insurance expire?"
  • "What's Grandma's apple pie recipe?"
  • "Show me all medical records for 2024"

API Endpoint

POST /api/w/family-brain/jobs/run_wait_result/p/f/chatbot/rag_query_agent

How does the AI agent work?

The RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) agent:

  1. Analyzes your question to determine search strategy
  2. Searches documents using semantic similarity
  3. Can also search PDF pages for visual content (charts, signatures)
  4. Generates a response grounded in your actual documents
  5. Never makes up information not in your documents

Why does the AI sometimes not find information I know exists?

Several reasons this might happen:

  • The document hasn't been embedded yet (check processing status)
  • The question uses different terminology than the document
  • The document is an image without OCR text extraction
  • Try rephrasing your question or being more specific

How do I retrieve past conversations?

Click the chat history icon to see previous sessions. Each session includes:

  • All messages exchanged
  • Source documents cited
  • Timestamps
