AI Without Context Is Just Karaoke
Here’s How to Give It the Lyrics
I’ve watched my AI answer questions like it was centre stage on karaoke night. It was loud, confident, and completely off-key.
It belts out a response with swagger, but the words don’t match the tune.
That’s the catch with most AI today. It isn’t drawing from your files, your notes, your customer history. It’s just guessing the lyrics, hoping no one notices.
The Shift
The problem isn’t that your AI can’t “sing.” It’s that it doesn’t know your song.
LLMs are trained on the world’s greatest hits, but when you ask a specific question like about your product roadmap, your customer data, or last week’s meeting notes…it blanks. Without context, it makes something up. Confidently.
RAG fixes that. Instead of guessing, your AI pauses, grabs the right lyrics from your own knowledge base, and then delivers the answer in tune.
You don’t need a bigger brain, you need a better playlist.
The Juice
Here’s how to stop your AI from freestyling and get it singing the right words:
The Zest
The best AI doesn’t just wing it with half-remembered lines. It knows your lyrics, your key, your stage.
When you give it context, it stops performing karaoke and starts sounding like part of the band.
So here’s your challenge this week:
Pick one piece of knowledge your AI always forgets. Maybe a client FAQ, a sales deck, or last month’s meeting notes and then plug it in.
Watch how much sharper the tune gets.
Because your AI shouldn’t just sing. It should sing your song.
All the zest, 🍋
