You're starting a new RAG project and face a decision that will shape your next 6-12 months: use a framework like LangChain, or build directly with the OpenAI API? The internet offers conflicting advice. X’s threads call LangChain "overkill" and "too much abstraction." Blog posts praise its mature patterns and ecosystem. Your team splits between "let's move fast with the framework" and "we should control our own code."

It starts like this: a user types, “How do I reset my password?” and waits… 25 seconds… 30 seconds… before giving up and emailing support. Behind the scenes, your AI chatbot does have the right answer — but it’s too slow, too costly, and users are walking away. The latest API bill? $5,000, mostly for answering the same dozen questions again and again.

Your AI chatbot may respond quickly, but are its answers correct? Many organizations implementing RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) chatbots discover a frustrating truth: semantic similarity doesn't equal relevance. For example, a user may ask about "implementing zero-trust security architecture in hybrid cloud environments," and the system confidently returns articles about "cloud security," but they discuss basic firewall rules instead of zero-trust principles.
