Explain RAG to a non-technical operations manager in under a minute.

Strong answer

"Think of it as an assistant that, before answering, looks up the relevant pages in your own manuals and then answers using only those pages, showing you which ones. That means answers reflect your procedures, not the internet, and your team can check the source. Its limits: if the manual is out of date or missing, the answer will be too, so keeping documents current matters more than anything we do in the software."
