Agentic RAG
Agentic RAG extends basic retrieval-augmented generation by giving an agent control over when, what, and how to retrieve information. Rather than a single retrieval step before generation, the agent can issue multiple targeted queries, evaluate retrieved passages, decide whether more retrieval is needed, and synthesize across multiple sources across many loop iterations — making retrieval an active, iterative part of reasoning rather than a one-shot lookup.
