Q: file attachments: RAG or prompt
I'm trying to replicate the 'assistant' feature in OpenAI. I attached a file and prompted it. Is this attaching the text to the prompt, or is this RAG? My goal is to chat with a bot knowledgeable in things contained in sereveral text files.

Edited Jan 2, 2025A: Hi apassala! The attachment files are only for that conversation (but you can reuse it on other conversation or templates as well), RAG has a different setup, you can learn more of it here: https://straico.com/rag-intro-api/

I'm not a dev. Does straico have rag feature in the UI? If so, it will replace my openAI subscription completely!
Jorge_StraicoPLUSIt doesn't yet. But the dev team is working really hard to get it done! It's one of our big items of focus.
You could use attachments in the UI, as you know. That works quite well, even with multiple files if needed, however, it is a bit more pricier than doing it through RAG.
