LangChain’s modular design naturally supports retrieval‑augmented question answering (RAG). A retriever component first embeds the user query, searches a vector database for relevant context, and injects those passages into the generation prompt. This approach lets the model ground its output in factual data rather than relying purely on training knowledge.
In production, Milvus serves as the retrieval backbone. It stores pre‑embedded documents, knowledge articles, or transcripts that agents can query with high recall and low latency. LangChain orchestrates the flow: retrieval → generation → evaluation. Each stage is inspectable, making debugging and improvement straightforward.
The advantage of this integration is maintainability. When new data arrives, simply re‑embed and insert into Milvus—no model retraining required. The system scales naturally as your corpus grows, keeping QA results current and relevant while minimizing operational complexity.
