The modern web is no longer static. Users expect intelligent, conversational, and context-aware experiences. As a leading Next.js development company, we’ve seen a paradigm shift: businesses are no longer asking if they should integrate AI, but how. This is where the powerful combination of Next.js and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) comes into play, enabling developers to build sophisticated web applications and even intelligent mobile applications with a shared AI backbone.

2. Introduction
Understanding RAG and Semantic Search
The presentation aims to clarify
the integration of RAG and
semantic search technologies
and their significance in
developing intelligent web
applications with Next.js.
Objectives
Retrieval-Augmented
Generation (RAG) combines
information retrieval with
generative AI, allowing
applications to provide more
accurate and context-aware
responses by leveraging both
historical data and real-time
processing.
Understanding RAG
Semantic search utilizes vector
embeddings to enhance
information retrieval beyond
traditional keyword matching,
enabling applications to deliver
more relevant results and
improve user experience
through nuanced
understanding of queries.
