Embeddings and RAG From Scratch: How AI Answers From Your Documents, and When It FailsWhy doesn't a search for "dog food" find a post titled "what should my puppy eat"? Why doesn't an AI know your company's documents? We explain embeddings, which turn text into a map of numbers, and RAG, which uses that map to find and attach the right parts of your documents. Then we ran RAG over 155 official Kubernetes documents and watched it answer "not in the material" because the right chunk ranked 12th.
