AI Chat & RAG Queries FAQ
How do I ask questions about my documents?
Simply type your question in natural language in the chat interface. Archevi will:
- Search your documents for relevant information
- Synthesize an answer from multiple sources
- 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"
How does the AI agent work?
The RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) agent:
- Analyzes your question to determine search strategy
- Searches documents using semantic similarity
- Can also search PDF pages for visual content (charts, signatures)
- Generates a response grounded in your actual documents
- 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

- Audio is transcribed using Groq Whisper
- Responses can be read aloud using ElevenLabs TTS
