Introduction

In the fast-paced world of AI, speed and relevance are key to staying competitive. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) has emerged as a transformative approach, combining the creative capabilities of large language models (LLMs) with the precision of retrieval systems. By integrating RAG into your applications, you can deliver real-time, contextually rich responses that drive better customer experiences, more insightful analytics, and smarter business decisions. But building such systems often involves complex infrastructure and significant development effort—until now.

This series explores how you can leverage Estuary Flow and Pinecone to create efficient, scalable RAG systems with minimal complexity. Estuary Flow enables seamless real-time data integration and transformation, while Pinecone offers a high-performance vector database for storing and retrieving embeddings. Together, these tools allow you to turn your existing data into a powerful backbone for AI applications. Whether you're working with live customer data, financial transactions, or product catalogs, this guide will help you unlock the potential of real-time RAG with practical, actionable steps.
