The RAG-Powered Voice Agent: How Retell AI Elevates Knowledge Retrieval

The RAG-Powered Voice Agent: How Retell AI Elevates Knowledge Retrieval

Most voice agents apologise for not having that information. Ours give right answers and convert higher.

The Problem We Solve

Customer service teams waste hours searching through documents instead of helping customers. One of our manufacturing clients had 3,000+ equipment manuals across 30 years—staff constantly delayed responses while hunting for information.

RAG Explained

Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) combines three steps:

1. Retrieve - Find relevant information from knowledge bases

2. Augment - Enhance AI prompts with specific context

3. Generate - Create responses informed by both conversation and retrieved data

The system analyses conversation context, searches vector databases, and injects relevant content automatically—without requiring manual prompt engineering.

Real-World Application

Manufacturing Client Case Study:

  • Challenge: 3,000+ equipment manuals across 30 years created support bottlenecks
  • Solution: Six specialist knowledge bases linked to a single voice agent
  • Result: 89% reduction in delayed responses
  • Successfully Deployed Agents

    Our agents manage:

  • 3,000+ PDFs (manufacturing)
  • 500+ policy documents (insurance)
  • 1,200+ product manuals (tech support)
  • System Limitations & Solutions

    Retell's Knowledge Base has defined limits:

  • 500 URLs maximum
  • 25 files (50MB each)
  • 50 text snippets
  • Our Workaround: Create multiple themed knowledge bases linked to single agents, segmented by:

  • Department
  • File type
  • Update frequency
  • Optimization Strategies

    To minimize latency (~100ms retrieval cost):

  • Clear document structure
  • Logical chunking
  • Specific targeting
  • Limit knowledge bases per agent
  • Enterprise Solution: Titan AI

    Our Titan AI dashboard grants internal staff ChatGPT-style access to organizational knowledge. This enables:

  • Instant policy searches
  • Fact-checked content generation
  • Cross-departmental knowledge access
  • Technical specifications lookup
  • Operational playbook queries
  • Your documents become instant answers.
