Data and Content Foundations: Preparing the Enterprise for RAG Performance

 

WEBINAR, MAY 13, 1PM ET|10AM PT

When technical organizations begin exploring generative AI and Retrieval Augmented Generation, their first assumption is usually that the model will be the most challenging part of the deployment. In reality, the model is the easiest element. The difficult work sits underneath the application: the content.

RAG depends on accurate, structured, validated, and context-rich information. If the content that supports your products, processes, compliance requirements, and service operations is inconsistent or unclear, the AI system will reflect those weaknesses. The failure will not be caused by the model. It will be caused by the lack of content readiness.

This session examines what content readiness means, why it matters, and how to prepare content so AI can operate safely and predictably. Participants will learn about content audits, metadata frameworks, version control, lifecycle management, and the governance structures that ensure content remains accurate over time.

This webinar is part of Earley’s 7-part AI Readiness Webinar Series. View the full series overview →
