Agentic RAG: Let the Agent Search
Towards Data Science introduces a minimal OpenAI Agents SDK implementation that transforms retrieval-augmented generation into an agent-based search-read-decide loop.
- Introduces a minimal OpenAI Agents SDK implementation that turns RAG into an agent-driven search-read-decide loop
- Aims to reduce hallucinations and improve response relevance by making retrieval dynamic and context-aware
- Provides lightweight, developer-friendly code and guidance for experimentation
- Highlights the shift toward agentic AI systems that actively query and refine information
A new post on Towards Data Science demonstrates a minimal implementation of OpenAI's Agents SDK that reimagines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) as an agent-driven process. Instead of static retrieval, the system now operates as a search-read-decide loop, where an AI agent actively queries sources, evaluates results, and refines its approach in real time. This approach aims to reduce hallucinations and improve the relevance of generated responses by making retrieval more dynamic and context-aware.
The implementation is designed to be lightweight and accessible, targeting developers who want to experiment with agentic workflows without heavy infrastructure. While still in early stages, the concept aligns with broader industry trends toward more autonomous and adaptive AI systems. The post includes code snippets and a step-by-step guide to help developers replicate the workflow in their own projects.
This work reflects a growing interest in agentic AI, where systems are no longer passive responders but active participants in problem-solving. By integrating retrieval into a decision-making loop, the approach could have implications for chatbots, research assistants, and enterprise search tools that rely on up-to-date or domain-specific knowledge.

Siri AI is already changing how I use my iPhone
Siri AI in iOS 27. iOS 27 escaped the developer world today with the launch of the first public beta. I've been testing the new operating system since early June, looking for quirks and seeing if it can live up to the hype Apple promised in the keynote. This year's iOS upgrades are what one might call a Snow Leopard update. That means it's light on new features and instead focused on fixing things that were broken and speeding up processes across the OS. App launches, Photos search results, and AirDrop transfers should all be faster. The Messages app now supports in-line replies and end-to-e
