The Secret Behind Most AI Tools: RAG. Alex Kihm Explains It Simply // REPOST

In this episode of Beginner’s Guide to AI, we sit down with Alex Kihm, founder of POMA AI, to explore how enterprises can finally make sense of their data. AI search is broken, RAG often fails, and corporate documents are notoriously hard for LLMs to interpret.

Alex explains how POMA AI’s patented method reconstructs structure inside unstructured data, enabling powerful, accurate enterprise search.

You’ll hear how his journey from engineering to legal tech to big-data econometrics led to a breakthrough in information structuring. Alex shares why PDFs confuse AI systems, how chunking destroys meaning, and why context engines will replace classical retrieval systems.

This is a deep, funny, insightful conversation about what AI can and cannot do — and how companies can use it responsibly.
