Two different problems wearing similar clothes. Here's how to tell them apart in thirty seconds, with working code for both.
I see this confusion in almost every project kickoff: "We need RAG" when the actual requirement is agentic, or "we need an agent" when RAG would be simpler, cheaper, and faster to ship.
Let's fix that with a decision tree you can actually use, plus working code for each path.
The Decision Tree
Does your system need to ANSWER QUESTIONS from documents?
"Should I use RAG or an agent?" comes up in almost every LLM project I work on. The honest answer is...
We've all read the headlines. "Agentic RAG is the next big thing." "AI systems that think for...
Why modern AI coding agents often use grep, file reads, symbols, and tests before reaching for vector RAG.
If you’ve built anything with LLMs in the last couple of years, you’ve built a RAG pipeline. Embed...
Most people treat the RAG-vs-Agent question as a technical preference. Pick whichever feels right,...
Introduction Here is a scenario many RAG builders know well, you wire up a pipeline, load...
