AI RAG Pipeline

Build RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) pipelines via inference.sh CLI.

Quick Start

Requires inference.sh CLI (infsh). Install instructions

infsh login

# Simple RAG: Search + LLM
SEARCH=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{"query": "latest AI developments 2024"}')
infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"Based on this research, summarize the key trends: $SEARCH\"
}"

What is RAG?

RAG combines:

• Retrieval: Fetch relevant information from external sources

• Augmentation: Add retrieved context to the prompt

• Generation: LLM generates response using the context

This produces more accurate, up-to-date, and verifiable AI responses.

RAG Pipeline Patterns

Pattern 1: Simple Search + Answer

[User Query] -> [Web Search] -> [LLM with Context] -> [Answer]

Pattern 2: Multi-Source Research

[Query] -> [Multiple Searches] -> [Aggregate] -> [LLM Analysis] -> [Report]

Pattern 3: Extract + Process

[URLs] -> [Content Extraction] -> [Chunking] -> [LLM Summary] -> [Output]

Pipeline Examples

Basic RAG Pipeline

# 1. Search for information
SEARCH_RESULT=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{
  "query": "What are the latest breakthroughs in quantum computing 2024?"
}')

# 2. Generate grounded response
infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"You are a research assistant. Based on the following search results, provide a comprehensive summary with citations.

Search Results:
$SEARCH_RESULT

Provide a well-structured summary with source citations.\"
}"

Multi-Source Research

# Search multiple sources
TAVILY=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{"query": "electric vehicle market trends 2024"}')
EXA=$(infsh app run exa/search --input '{"query": "EV market analysis latest reports"}')

# Combine and analyze
infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"Analyze these research results and identify common themes and contradictions.

Source 1 (Tavily):
$TAVILY

Source 2 (Exa):
$EXA

Provide a balanced analysis with sources.\"
}"

URL Content Analysis

# 1. Extract content from specific URLs
CONTENT=$(infsh app run tavily/extract --input '{
  "urls": [
    "https://example.com/research-paper",
    "https://example.com/industry-report"
  ]
}')

# 2. Analyze extracted content
infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"Analyze these documents and extract key insights:

$CONTENT

Provide:
1. Key findings
2. Data points
3. Recommendations\"
}"

Fact-Checking Pipeline

# Claim to verify
CLAIM="AI will replace 50% of jobs by 2030"

# 1. Search for evidence
EVIDENCE=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input "{
  \"query\": \"$CLAIM evidence studies research\"
}")

# 2. Verify claim
infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"Fact-check this claim: '$CLAIM'

Based on the following evidence:
$EVIDENCE

Provide:
1. Verdict (True/False/Partially True/Unverified)
2. Supporting evidence
3. Contradicting evidence
4. Sources\"
}"

Research Report Generator

TOPIC="Impact of generative AI on creative industries"

# 1. Initial research
OVERVIEW=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input "{\"query\": \"$TOPIC overview\"}")
STATISTICS=$(infsh app run exa/search --input "{\"query\": \"$TOPIC statistics data\"}")
OPINIONS=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input "{\"query\": \"$TOPIC expert opinions\"}")

# 2. Generate comprehensive report
infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"Generate a comprehensive research report on: $TOPIC

Research Data:
== Overview ==
$OVERVIEW

== Statistics ==
$STATISTICS

== Expert Opinions ==
$OPINIONS

Format as a professional report with:
- Executive Summary
- Key Findings
- Data Analysis
- Expert Perspectives
- Conclusion
- Sources\"
}"

Quick Answer with Sources

# Use Exa Answer for direct factual questions
infsh app run exa/answer --input '{
  "question": "What is the current market cap of NVIDIA?"
}'

Best Practices

1. Query Optimization

# Bad: Too vague
"AI news"

# Good: Specific and contextual
"latest developments in large language models January 2024"

2. Context Management

# Summarize long search results before sending to LLM
SEARCH=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{"query": "..."}')

# If too long, summarize first
SUMMARY=$(infsh app run openrouter/claude-haiku-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"Summarize these search results in bullet points: $SEARCH\"
}")

# Then use summary for analysis
infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input "{
  \"prompt\": \"Based on this research summary, provide insights: $SUMMARY\"
}"

3. Source Attribution

Always ask the LLM to cite sources:

infsh app run openrouter/claude-sonnet-45 --input '{
  "prompt": "... Always cite sources in [Source Name](URL) format."
}'

4. Iterative Research

# First pass: broad search
INITIAL=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{"query": "topic overview"}')

# Second pass: dive deeper based on findings
DEEP=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input '{"query": "specific aspect from initial search"}')

Pipeline Templates

  # Search
  local results=$(infsh app run tavily/search-assistant --input "{\"query\": \"$query\"}")

  # Analyze
  infsh app run openrouter/claude-haiku-45 --input "{
    \"prompt\": \"Summarize: $results\"
  }"
}
