Oomira vs RAG

How is Oomira different from RAG?

RAG retrieves text that looks relevant. Oomira stores typed, sourced, dated facts, so teams, products, and agents can answer questions where the right answer depends on time, provenance, and which source superseded which.

RAG is retrieval

It finds chunks from files, webpages, or databases that match the prompt.

Oomira is memory

It turns sources into reviewable facts with dates, entities, and relationships.

They can work together

Retrieved source text can become evidence, but the memory is the structured record.

QuestionRAG answer pathOomira answer path
Who owns Acme now?Retrieve acquisition mentions and ask a model to summarize.Resolve the current acquired_by fact and show the announcement source.
Who owned Acme in 2022?May retrieve a current page unless the prompt forces date context.Resolve the world as of 2022, before the 2023 acquisition fact became true.
Which CRM rows are stale?Retrieve likely snippets for each row and compare in prose.Compare stored CRM-like facts against newer sourced facts and produce a review list.

When RAG is enough

RAG is useful when the user needs a grounded summary from a stable document set: policy search, support answers, internal handbook lookup, or summarizing a known source. If the document is the answer, retrieval may be enough.

When Oomira is different

Oomira matters when the world described by the documents changes. A paragraph can remain online after it stops being true. A CRM row can look current while newer evidence contradicts it. A company can have different correct answers depending on the date being asked.

TimeAnswers can be as-of a date

Current and historical questions resolve differently without rewriting the past.

SourceEvidence stays attached

A fact can show which URL, file, or note supports it.

StructureFacts are typed

People, roles, reporting lines, customers, investors, and events are queryable.

ReviewChanges can be approved

Teams can inspect proposed facts before agents rely on them.

The short answer

Use RAG to find relevant source text. Use Oomira when that source text needs to become durable company memory: typed, dated, cited, and safe for humans or agents to query later.
