Convex Agents RAG

Purpose

Enables agents to search through custom content and knowledge bases to provide accurate, context-grounded responses. RAG combines LLM capabilities with semantic search.

When to Use This Skill

• Agents need to reference a knowledge base or document collection
• Grounding answers in specific data (policies, product docs, etc.)
• Semantic search across custom content
• Building a search + generation system (FAQ, documentation, support)
• Reducing hallucinations by constraining responses to known information
• Managing user-specific or team-specific knowledge namespaces

Setup

Install and configure RAG in your convex.config.ts:

import { defineApp } from "convex/server";
