RAG-as-a-Service

Transforming Organisational Knowledge into Trusted AI Assistants
(Powered by Capabara® Knowledge Systems)

Empowering Organisations with Responsible AI

In today’s data-rich environment, knowledge is often trapped in silos across documents, systems, and repositories.

Straits Interactive’s RAG-as-a-Service enables organisations to securely harness this information through Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) – transforming internal data into reliable, explainable AI assistants.

Built on the Capabara® Platform, this service helps you turn your own policies, manuals, and institutional knowledge into AI-driven capabilities that improve productivity, governance, and decision-making while maintaining data privacy and compliance.

Solution Overview

RAG-as-a-Service is a managed and enablement offering that helps organisations create their own Retrieval-Augmented AI applications using their internal data.

It combines the power of Large Language Models (LLMs) with secure
Capabara® Knowledge Systems (CKS) to provide accurate, context-aware, and fully governed AI assistants.

Each project includes:

  • End-to-end consulting following the ISO 5338 AI Lifecycle — from inception and scoping to deployment and capability transfer.
  • Custom RAG app design integrated directly into business workflows.
  • Optimised model selection based on use case, data type, and token cost tiers (low, mid, high).
  • Built-in governance through Straits’ AI Lifecycle Optimiser and documentation toolkit.

Together, these deliver a trusted, explainable AI ecosystem tailored to your organisation’s knowledge assets.

Deliverables

  • 1 to 2 RAG-enabled AI Assistants aligned to your defined use cases.
  • Workflow Design integrating the Assistants into daily business processes.
  • Governance Dashboard for usage, performance, and compliance visibility.
  • Documentation Pack
        – Risk Analysis Report
        – Model Card
        – Business Case Blueprint
        – Privacy Policy & Terms of Use
  • Editable Prompt Instructions – full client access (no vendor lock-in).
  • Capability Transfer & Training for sustained internal ownership.
  • Ongoing Advisory on model updates, risk, and governance practices.

In short, you receive both the AI solution and the capability to manage and evolve it responsibly.
