Abstract

This paper presents an adaptive retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) framework for enterprise knowledge systems that combines multi-source ingestion, semantic indexing with Hugging Face embeddings and Facebook artificial intelligence similarity search (FAISS), metadata-aware retrieval, and grounded large language model generation. The research addresses a persistent enterprise gap: critical knowledge is distributed across documentation, tickets, code repositories, and collaboration tools, while static keyword search and periodically retrained language models cannot keep pace with rapidly changing operational data. The proposed approach contributes a privacy-preserving architecture, a retrieval-and-feedback loop that improves ranking quality over time, and a unified workflow that links evidence retrieval to solution recommendation. In an evaluation over a 1.2 million-document corpus and a six-week pilot, the framework improved Precision@10 from 0.58 to 0.81, reduced documentation retrieval latency from 45.6 s to 12.3 s, and shortened average bug-resolution time from 18.4 h to 7.2 h. These findings indicate that enterprise RAG can materially improve troubleshooting speed, knowledge reuse, and decision support while maintaining stronger control over sensitive organizational data. The broader implication is that adaptive, governed RAG systems can serve as a practical foundation for future enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) assistants, analytics platforms, and compliance-aware decision workflows.
