Is Multimodal RAG the Cure for Enterprise Knowledge‑Base Bottlenecks? The ‘Where to Retrieve’ Challenge

The article analyzes how multimodal Retrieval‑Augmented Generation expands retrieval objects beyond text chunks, why the "where to retrieve" problem is as critical as "what to retrieve" in enterprise knowledge bases, and how Google Gemini's File Search and recent industry research illustrate the shift toward verifiable, multimodal evidence.
