📰 Medium · LLM

Learn how to architect a sub-150ms hybrid RAG for voice agents by combining pgvector, BM25, and Async FastAPI to serve large industrial catalogs over voice channels

advanced Published 21 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Build a hybrid RAG system using pgvector and BM25 to improve search efficiency
  2. Configure Async FastAPI to handle voice channel requests and reduce response latency
  3. Integrate Postgres with pgvector to enable fast vector searches
  4. Test the system with a large industrial catalog to ensure sub-150ms response times
  5. Optimize the system by fine-tuning the BM25 algorithm and adjusting the pgvector indexing
