Our approach

KAG: Knowledge Augmented Generation

Most AI projects struggle for one reason: the organisation's knowledge is not ready for AI, and it does not stay ready, because knowledge keeps changing. KAG is the approach that addresses this at the source, by giving AI structured, validated knowledge before it answers.

LLM

Relies on what the model "knows"

Powerful and fluent, but without a reliable knowledge base it can answer with confidence even when it is wrong.

→

RAG

Fetches similar text first

A promising first step, but it retrieves similar passages, not structured or verified knowledge.

KAG

Structures knowledge before the AI

Knowledge is identified, assembled and validated, so answers stay within verified knowledge and can be audited.

How it works

Understand, assemble, validate

Every question follows the same path, and the answer is checked before it reaches the user.

Step 1

Understand the question

KBAI identifies which knowledge is being asked for and in which contexts it applies.

Step 2

Assemble the right knowledge

It gathers structured knowledge from the knowledge base, each item with the context it belongs to.

Step 3

Answer and validate

The AI answers from that knowledge, the answer is checked for coherence, and refined when needed.

What it means for your organisation

AI you can trust, audit and keep

Grounded answers

Answers draw on your own validated knowledge, not on the open web or the model's memory.

Answers you can defend

Every claim traces back to the knowledge and context it came from.

Knowledge that stays

Expertise captured in the knowledge base remains available when people move on.

Research-driven

Pioneering KAG, built on long-term research

KAG is a new and still emerging approach, and KBAI is among those pioneering it. Our contribution is the way knowledge is represented: it carries its time, truth value, confidence and reliability, so AI can tell what is current and trustworthy.

It is the result of more than a decade of continuous R&D with universities in knowledge representation and reasoning, a work that continues today.
