2. Intelligent Query Processing

  • Query understanding and intent classification
  • Query expansion and rephrasing for better retrieval
  • Follow-up question detection and handling
  • Multi-modal query support (text, voice, structured input)

3. Dynamic Retrieval Enhancement

  • Context-aware retrieval adjustment
  • Conversation-history augmented searches
  • Confidence-based multi-source retrieval
  • Real-time data integration during conversations

4. Response Generation & Refinement
