Not sure which doc to start with? This page organizes recommendations by role and progression — business users, admins, and technical integrators each follow a different track to save time.
Key takeaways
Recommended order: (1) "Try RAGDC for free" — understand what we do. (2) "Build your first RAG knowledge base" — follow steps to create your own. (3) "Iterate prompts in the Playground" — tune for better answers. About 30 minutes total, then you can solo-use RAGDC for daily doc queries.
Focus reading: (1) "Manage team members & access control" — role matrix and invite flow. (2) "Monitor usage & billing" — dashboard and invoice export. (3) "Import large document collections" — if you're batch-ingesting corporate docs. These three cover workspace governance, cost control, and compliance audits.
Core three: (1) "What you can build" — understand our retrieval / generation / citation (different from bare LLMs). (2) "API integration overview" — typical scenarios + security + billing. (3) "Tune retrieval quality" — maximize answer accuracy. Then jump to the API Reference page for endpoints and parameters, and you're ready to ship.
If your scenario exceeds standard capabilities (private deployment, custom workflows, vertical model fine-tuning), reach out directly to our engineers. We provide solution consulting and implementation support for enterprise customers — typically a response within 24 hours, and a first-draft proposal in 1-2 weeks.
