Textbook Brain (RAG)

What is RAG?

RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) means the AI searches real textbooks before answering. Instead of relying only on training data, it retrieves exact passages from indexed medical texts and uses them as context for its answer — dramatically reducing hallucinations.

Which modes use RAG?

• Anatomy — Snell's Clinical Anatomy, Moore's Clinically Oriented Anatomy
• Histology — histology reference texts
• Biochemistry — biochemistry textbook index

How to use it

Select the relevant mode (e.g. Anatomy) from the Modes menu, then ask your question normally. The system automatically searches the textbook and cites the source passage in its response.

Limitations

RAG only covers indexed textbooks. If you ask about a topic not covered in the current index, the AI will fall back to its training data and will say so.
