Introducing the Basic RAG Retrieval Template

Yesterday, we released our Basic RAG Ingestion template—the workflow that takes your PDFs, price sheets, and documentation and organizes them into a "brain" (vector database) that an AI can understand.

Today, we are releasing the companion template: Basic RAG Retrieval.

Why Two Workflows?

You might wonder, "Why not put this all in one big automation?" The answer is efficiency.

• Ingestion (The Builder): This is a heavy lift. You run it once to read thousands of pages and build your index. You don't want to re-read every single document every time a customer asks a question.
• Retrieval (The Searcher): This is built for speed. It runs thousands of times a day, instantly searching your pre-built index to answer customer questions in milliseconds.

By separating these workflows, you create a system that is scalable, fast, and cost-effective.

Own Your Agent, Own Your Success

At AI Sales Agent HQ, we believe in using the right tool for the job. We often review and discuss commonly used off-the-shelf AI tools hitting the market, and our platform, Scoot Engage, is designed to work seamlessly with whatever agent you choose to bring to the table.

However, if you prefer having full control over the logic, the data, and the source of truth, we created these free n8n templates. They give you the power to maintain strict operational control:

• Control the Source: Ensure answers come only from your approved documentation.
• Control the Logic: Dictate the precise tone and sales methodology the agent uses.
• Control the Data: Keep sensitive customer interactions within your own infrastructure.

Ready to Deploy?

Both the Basic RAG Ingestion and Basic RAG Retrieval templates are now available for free to our subscribers. Download them, plug in your API keys, and deploy your own custom AI agent in under 15 minutes.
