How Hebbia is building AI for in-depth research
Briefly

Hebbia, a New York-based AI startup, is pioneering techniques that enhance generative AI's ability to respond accurately to user inquiries about large datasets. This evolution revolves around retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), which allows AI to pull in relevant information from vast resources, yet RAG struggles with nuanced understanding. As CEO George Sivulka notes, RAG's reliance on keyword matches can hinder its ability to focus on the intent behind user queries, particularly in contexts where deep analysis is required, such as investment evaluations.
AI companies have recently used RAG to enhance generative AI tools, enabling better question answering beyond mere repetition or inaccuracies.
Sivulka emphasizes that RAG can falter by fixating on keyword matches rather than performing comprehensive analyses that truly address user queries.
