Advanced agentic RAG: self-improving retrieval

Build a RAG pipeline that routes queries across multiple retrievers, checks its own relevance, and falls back intelligently. Grounded in the agentic-rag and autonomous-agentic-rag repos.

What you get

  • Route queries across Q&A stores, document stores, and web search with a typed agent
  • Add a relevance checker that catches bad retrieval before generation
  • Design reflection loops that let the agent retry with a better plan
  • Bound iteration counts so self-improvement does not become runaway cost
  • Evaluate routing quality with per-route metrics, not just end-to-end accuracy

Inside

  • Why one retriever is not enough
  • The routing agent and its decision prompt
  • Per-retriever adapters (Q&A, documents, web)
  • Relevance checking and conditional fallbacks
  • Reflection: self-critique and retry
  • Iteration budgets and cost control
  • Evaluating an agentic RAG pipeline
  • Ship checklist
