# RAG and Agent Workflows

> Use Bulkgrid as the ingestion and retrieval layer for AI applications and agent systems.

Bulkgrid fits naturally into retrieval-augmented generation and agent workflows because it supports both content ingestion and direct retrieval.

## Common pattern

```mermaid theme={null}
flowchart LR
  Sources["Public Sites and Documents"] --> Bulkgrid["Bulkgrid Crawl or Extract"]
  Bulkgrid --> Index["Customer Retrieval Layer"]
  User["User Query"] --> App["Application or Agent"]
  App --> Search["Bulkgrid Search or Customer Index Search"]
  Search --> App
  App --> Model["LLM"]
```

## Where Bulkgrid helps most

* crawling and normalizing source content
* extracting structured information from pages
* returning ranked search results for downstream answer generation
* keeping ingestion logic out of your agent runtime

## Practical recommendation

Keep agent logic focused on reasoning and tool orchestration. Keep content ingestion and retrieval mechanics in Bulkgrid plus your backend layer.
