FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These are some of our most frequently asked questions.

Which model powers VOL AI?

VOL AI uses a retrieval-augmented pipeline built on RAGFlow with modern embedding, reranking and language models. Enterprise customers can bring their own models.

Can VOL AI hallucinate references?

Citations are generated from retrieved passages, not from the model's memory, so every reference points to a real document in your corpus.

Can I use VOL AI in my product?

Yes. Use the chat endpoint of the public API, the TypeScript SDK, the VolChat React component or the script embed.
