Google Research's agentic RAG framework for Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform uses multi-agent query planning and iterative cross-corpus retrieval to improve factuality by up to 34% over standard single-step RAG on complex enterprise queries.

Details

Google Research and Google Cloud jointly published an agentic RAG framework deployed on the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The system addresses a core weakness of standard RAG: single-step retrieval fails on multi-source, multi-hop queries — for example, finding a server ID in one database and then cross-referencing specs in a separate system. The framework uses a multi-agent architecture with four specialized roles: an Orchestrator that decides when multi-step retrieval is needed, a Planner Agent that maps information pathways across data sources, a Query Rewriter that generates multiple targeted search queries from a single user question, and a Search Fanout Agent that executes parallel searches. A key differentiator is the 'sufficient context' check — the system verifies it has gathered enough information to answer accurately before generating a response, directly targeting hallucination via premature generation. Benchmark results show up to 34% accuracy improvement on factuality datasets compared to standard RAG. Google also reports better grounding and reasoning accuracy on proprietary internal domain-specific datasets. Available now on Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform via RAG Engine and Cross Corpus Retrieval — production deployment, not a research prototype.
