Helm Gen™

Helm Gen™ makes use of a pivotal advancement in the realm of Large Language Models (LLMs) called Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). RAG combines the strengths of LLMs with retrieval mechanisms, making it particularly valuable for business use cases because it only uses what you want it to use. Helm Gen™ uses RAG to provide a Generative AI solution that operates within brand bounds, while limiting ‘hallucinations’ by limiting the amount of content it is exposed to.

Think Chat GPT, but instead of exposing your brand to the entire history of the internet, we only give it the content you want it to have.
