Large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4 have shown impressive abilities in generating human-like text. However, they still face challenges when it comes to retention of factual knowledge. This is where retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) comes in — combining the generative capabilities of LLMs with external knowledge sources. RAG has emerged as a promising technique for improving the factual grounding of LLMs while retaining their fluency.
Let’s dive deep into the world of RAG understanding and how SAP Successfactors Incentive Management Sales reps can benefit.
What is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) ?
Retrieval-augmented generation combines large language models with retrieval mechanisms to provide relevant knowledge to the LLM during text generation.
In RAG frameworks, the LLM is paired with an information retrieval system. When the LLM receives a prompt, the retriever looks through the knowledge source (a database, passages of text, etc) to find relevant context. This context is provided to the LLM, along with the original prompt, to generate an output.
LLMs are trained on enormous bodies of data but they aren’t trained on your data. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solves this problem by adding your data to the data LLMs already have access to. You will see references to RAG frequently in this documentation.
In RAG, your data is loaded and prepared for queries or “indexed”. User queries act on the index, which filters your data down to the most relevant context. This context and your query then go to the LLM along with a prompt, and the LLM provides a response.
Even if what you’re building is a chatbot or an agent, you’ll want to know RAG techniques for getting data into your application.

Sales reps can get an advantage from RAG in several ways:
- Increased earning potential: RAG can help reps to earn more money by providing them with personalized goals and feedback that helps them to improve their performance.
Here are some specific examples of how RAG can be used to improve SAP SuccessFactors Incentive Management:
- RAG can be used to create personalized incentive plans for each rep. These plans can be based on the rep's individual sales goals, performance history, and market conditions.
- RAG can be used to automate the process of calculating incentive payouts. This can help to reduce the administrative burden on sales managers and reps.
- RAG can be used to provide reps with real-time feedback on their performance. This feedback can help reps to identify areas where they can improve and track their progress towards their goals.
- RAG can be used to create personalized coaching plans for reps. These plans can be based on the rep's individual needs and weaknesses.
Here are some additional benefits of using RAG in SAP SuccessFactors Incentive Management:
- Reduced costs: RAG can help to reduce the costs associated with incentive management by automating tasks and improving the accuracy of calculations.
- Improved compliance: RAG can help to ensure that incentive programs are compliant with all applicable laws and regulations.
