Practice/RAG

RAG Playground

Ask a question. Watch which notes get retrieved, then see what happens if the model skips them and just talks.

What retrieval found (toy keyword score)

  • Refund policy80% match

    Customers can request a refund within 14 days of purchase if the course has not been more than 20% completed. Refunds take 5–7 business days. After 14 days, we offer credit toward another course instead of cash.

  • Support hours40% match

    Human support is available Monday to Friday, 9:00–18:00 IST. After hours, the help bot can reset passwords and resend invoices, but it cannot issue refunds or change billing plans.

  • What we store20% match

    Practice tools under /practice run in the browser and do not save what you type. Account lessons store progress so you can resume. We do not sell student chat logs.

  • Membership pricing0% match

    explainx.ai membership is $29 per month or $290 per year. The yearly plan is billed once. Students on a live bootcamp already have membership included for the duration of the cohort.

  • Office and shipping0% match

    We are a remote-first team. There is no public walk-in office. Course materials are digital — we do not ship books, laptops, or USB drives.

  • Certificates0% match

    A completion badge is issued when you finish a pathway. It is not the same as the Claude Certified Architect mock exams, which are timed tests with a separate question bank.

What the model says

Based on the retrieved notes: Customers can request a refund within 14 days of purchase if the course has not been more than 20% completed. Human support is available Monday to Friday, 9:00–18:00 IST.

Why retrieval changes the job

The model is not your wiki

Weights remember patterns, not your refund policy. RAG fetches snippets at answer time so the model has something to cite.

Bad retrieval, bad answer

If the wrong note ranks first — or nothing relevant scores high — a “grounded” system still fails. Ranking is the product.

Skipping retrieval is how you get Marine Drive

Without notes, the model will still sound sure. That confidence is the failure mode, not a feature.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real vector search?+

No. Scores are simple keyword overlap so you can see the pipeline without an API. Production RAG uses embeddings and a vector index. The lesson — retrieve, then generate — is the same.

What does RAG stand for?+

Retrieval-augmented generation. You search a knowledge base, stuff the best snippets into the prompt, and only then ask the model to answer.

Is anything I type saved?+

No. The notes and scoring all run in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
