Choosing an Information Integration Strategy

A startup is developing a customer support AI for its software, which is updated weekly with new features and bug fixes. They are using a powerful, general-purpose language model. The engineering team is debating two approaches to ensure the AI provides up-to-date answers:

  • Approach A: Periodically retrain the entire language model with the latest documentation. This process is computationally expensive and takes several days to complete.
  • Approach B: For each customer question, build a system that first finds the most relevant sections from the latest documentation and then provides those sections to the existing, unchanged language model along with the question.

Based on the startup's need for the AI to handle weekly updates, evaluate the two approaches. Which approach is more suitable and why? Justify your answer by explaining the key operational difference between how each approach incorporates new information.
