Do you know that you can integrate RAG into Gemini?
I was asking random AI questions to my AI (Gemini) just to understand how it works with the skill that integrates data from Google Workspaces (emails, notes, google docs) just because I was wondering if every request was actually looking into the documents in Gdrive (more token consumption) and also exploring the option to make Gemini write mimicking my style... it turns out that only when you…
Gemini, Google's AI assistant, can integrate Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance its inference results, according to reports. Users can provide Gemini with access to their Google Workspaces data, including emails, notes, and Google Docs, to improve the AI's understanding of the user's writing style.
When activated, Gemini will search through the user's documents, emails, and slides to learn how the user writes. This process can be beneficial for token expenditure and can help Gemini make more accurate inferences. Users have the option to provide Gemini with specific documents or even upload their own files to Google Drive for the AI to reference.
Furthermore, Gemini allows users to curate the tone of its writing by analyzing their existing documents. This feature enables the AI to mimic the user's writing style, making the generated content more personalized. Additionally, users can query Gemini to search for information within specific folders, allowing for context-based retrieval of relevant data to improve the AI's inferencing capabilities.
However, it is important to note that this functionality is not a full-fledged RAG feature, as it relies on a standard RAG approach that involves a vector database with pre-processed data for the LLM to consume during the retrieval and inference process.
