🤖 AK-RAG Pattern to Combat LLM Hallucinations

A new approach, Attribute Knowledge RAG (AK-RAG), has been introduced to solve the problem of hallucinations in enterprise environments. Instead of text chunks, the system uses governed attribute objects, allowing the LLM to select existing attribute_ids via hybrid search (BM25 + kNN).

🌍 The pattern ensures deterministic selection instead of free-form generation, which is vital for compliance (HIPAA, GDPR) and strict data schemas.

👤 This makes AI agents suitable for database operations, eliminating errors in field names that break pipelines.
