RAG Chatbot Development — From Document Ingestion to Production

A RAG chatbot is easy to demo and hard to ship. I build production RAG systems where retrieval is tuned, evaluation is automated, costs are predictable, and answers are grounded with citations.

Who this is for

  • SaaS companies adding an AI assistant to their docs, support, or in-app help.
  • Teams replacing manual support tickets with a smart, source-grounded chatbot.
  • Internal tools — knowledge bots over Notion, Confluence, Google Drive, or SharePoint.

What I deliver

Ingestion pipeline

Connectors for PDFs, websites, Notion, Drive, SharePoint, Confluence. Smart chunking, deduplication, metadata extraction.

Retrieval that actually works

Hybrid search (BM25 + dense), reranking (Cohere/BGE), query rewriting, and citation tracking that links back to source paragraphs.

Streaming chat UI

Next.js + Tailwind chat interface with streaming responses, citations, message history, and feedback capture for continuous improvement.

Evaluation & observability

Ragas-based eval pipeline, golden test set, hallucination detection, and dashboards for retrieval recall + answer quality.

How we'll work together

01

Discovery

Document corpus size, query types, latency / cost / accuracy targets.

02

Prototype

Week 1: working RAG over a sample of your docs with eval baseline.

03

Tune

Iterate on chunking, retrieval, prompts, reranking until eval scores hit target.

04

Deploy

Production deploy with streaming, citations, monitoring, and runbook.

FAQ

How much does a RAG chatbot cost?

Standard RAG chatbot (one data source, English, hosted on cloud LLM): ₹80,000–₹2,50,000. Multi-source, multi-tenant, or self-hosted LLM: ₹3,00,000+.

How long until it's live?

Working prototype in 7 days. Production-ready (eval-tuned, deployed, monitored) in 3–4 weeks.

Can it run on our infrastructure?

Yes. Self-hosted Ollama or vLLM, on-prem vector store (pgvector), no data leaves your network. Required for healthcare, fintech, or regulated industries.

What's your accuracy guarantee?

I commit to a measurable eval target (e.g., faithfulness > 0.85, answer relevance > 0.80 on your golden set) before declaring the system production-ready.
