Report #75468

[frontier] How do I fix RAG when initial retrieval returns irrelevant context?

Implement agentic RAG with re-planning—if initial retrieval confidence is low, use an LLM to rewrite the query based on initial results and re-retrieve, iterating up to N times before generation.

Journey Context:
Naive RAG fails on complex queries requiring multi-hop reasoning or when keywords mismatch. Static retrieval assumes perfect query formulation. Re-planning treats retrieval as an agentic loop with feedback, dramatically improving recall on complex tasks. Tradeoff: increases latency and token usage, but beats serving wrong context.
