The original title is: Why "Just Ask the AI" Doesn't Work When Your Docs Are Scattered Across 6 Tools

Short summary

Most teams fail with naive RAG on fragmented documentation because they can't distinguish stale from current sources. The fix isn't a better model—it's structuring your data layer first so AI focuses on retrieval and citation, not guessing. Before adopting any AI-over-docs system, ensure your underlying data tracks what's current, what's deprecated, and where each fact originates.

• •Naive RAG systems confidently blend stale and current sources into wrong answers
• •Real solution: structure data as a single schema before applying AI, not after
• •AI is only as trustworthy as the data layer underneath it

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
