is gaining attention as a technology that complements the knowledge that LLMs itself cannot provide. However,when it comes to implementing RAG systems, many challenges arise.
One of the major challenges is dealing with unstructured data. We have worked on various projects handlingdifferent types of data and have tackled challenges unique to internal information. In this session, we will discuss
the practical application of AI ETL using generative AI and how our solutions streamline data preparation,
thereby enhancing the use of generative AI in business operations.
