Teaching Assistant Bot
- Problem
- Staff needed fast, trustworthy answers from a large, messy body of school documents, without sending anything to a third-party cloud.
- Built
- A production RAG system with hybrid retrieval, cross-encoder reranking, citation enforcement, and a CI-gated evaluation pipeline so quality is checked on every change. Runs locally on open-source models with a cloud fallback.
- Outcome
- Source-cited answers people can trust, with retrieval quality measured on a golden evaluation set rather than guessed at.
