CHALLENGE

Recognizing the universal challenge of manually analyzing dense ESG reports, Codya developed an AI assistant to streamline the process. The project was born from the need to eliminate time-consuming manual searches, creating an intelligent, fast, and accurate Q&A platform to tackle a common industry pain point.

Manually analyzing ESG reports is a significant hurdle for organizations aiming for sustainable and compliant operations. These documents lack a standardized format and are often dense with a mix of text, tables, charts, and diagrams, making data extraction slow and prone to error. Recognizing this widespread challenge among our clients we set out to create a solution that could understand this complexity and deliver trustworthy answers with verifiable sources.

  • Extracting accurate data from unstructured reports containing a complex mix of text, diagrams, images, and tables.
  • Ensuring every answer is backed by a precise citation, including the original page and chapter, to guarantee verifiability.
  • Developing a system to minimize AI "hallucinations" and ensure the highest levels of accuracy and reliability.
  • Enabling the AI to interpret and answer questions based on information embedded within diagrams, graphics, and tables.
  • Designing advanced data processing strategies for document chunking and vectorization to optimize information retrieval.

To overcome these obstacles, we decided to design and build a sophisticated Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solution from the ground up.

SOLUTION

Building a Robust RAG Pipeline from Concept to Deployment

Our approach centered on a transparent and collaborative process to engineer a solution that is not only powerful but also reliable and user-friendly. By combining deep technical expertise with agile execution, we delivered a custom AI platform tailored to the unique demands of ESG report analysis.

Key Steps in the Process

1

We initiated the project by gathering and technically refining the requirements based on the core business problem. This collaborative phase ensured a shared understanding of the goals and success criteria.

3

We implemented the target solution over the course of several weeks, bringing the initial concept to a fully functional platform.

2

Our team designed a scalable architecture, carefully researching and selecting the optimal tools, including the foundational model, response filters, vector database, and cloud infrastructure.

4

We conducted rigorous, iterative testing to continuously enhance the platform's efficiency, speed, and accuracy, ensuring it met our high-performance benchmarks.

5

Once performance benchmarks were met, we deployed the application, making it accessible for immediate use.
