How Filo Finds Answers: RAG and Semantic Search Explained

Created by sarah m, Modified on Tue, 22 Jul at 9:54 PM by sarah m

Filo uses semantic search and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Step 1: Your question is embedded into a vector.
Step 2: That vector is matched against your content to find relevant passages.
Step 3: Filo generates an answer using OpenAI models and the top results.

This means you get answers that understand intent — not just keyword matches.
