Agentic search vs. RAG
RAG gave AI systems access to external knowledge at query time. Agentic search gives AI the ability to reason about that knowledge — re-querying, cross-referencing, and refining until it reaches a confident answer.
The RAG ceiling
RAG returns a ranked list of chunks. Complex enterprise questions need multi-hop reasoning across sources.
Agentic retrieval
Chordian Deep Search runs seven parallel paths, fuses via RRF, and reasons until confident with full provenance.
Write-back
Every search enriches your institutional memory — RAG alone does not compound organisational knowledge.
