Idea
A scalable AI search platform combining retrieval and tool-based agents for enterprises needing real-time, low-latency information access
Research Paper
Core Innovation
This paper presents TURA, a unified framework that combines intent-aware retrieval with agentic tool use to access both static and dynamic data sources. It introduces a DAG-based task planner enabling parallel tool execution and a distilled agent executor for efficient, low-latency operation. This approach advances beyond traditional retrieval-augmented generation by integrating real-time tool invocation in a scalable manner.

Research Paper Overview
TURA: Tool-Augmented Unified Retrieval Agent for AI Search
Summary
TURA introduces a three-stage framework that integrates Retrieval-Augmented Generation with agentic tool-use to access both static and dynamic real-time information. It features an Intent-Aware Retrieval module, a DAG-based Task Planner for parallel execution, and a lightweight Distilled Agent Executor for efficient tool invocation, enabling robust, low-latency AI search at scale.
