Agentic RAG
Quick answer
Agentic RAG is retrieval-augmented generation where an autonomous agent decides which retriever tools to call, in what order, and how to react when they return nothing relevant.
The hard part is defined behavior on out-of-corpus queries: a naive agent confidently answers from nothing. A Retrieve-Check-Route pattern adds a relevance check and a conditional fallback edge after the agent’s tool calls.
