Here's my recommendation:
What you're attempting to do, integrating an agent in your business, is difficult. It is however relatively easy to fake. Just setup a quick RAG tool, plug it into your LLM, and you're done. From the outside, the only difference between a quick-n-dirty integration and a much more robust approach will be in numbers. One will be more accurate than the other, but you need to actually measure and count performance to establish it as a fact and not just a vibe.
First advice: build up a dataset and measure performance as you develop your agent. Or just don't, and deliver what hype demands.
As for advices ... and looking at those other commenters left ... If you want to do this seriously, I'd recommend that you hire someone who already did that kind of integration, at least as a consultant. Someone whose first reflex wo

n't be to just tell you LLMs are fixed and can't learn but will also add this isn't a limitation since RAG pipelines are better suited for this task than fine-tuning [1].
Also RAG isn't a monolithic solutions, there are many, many variations. For your use-case, I'd consider more elaborate solutions than just baseline RAG, such as GraphRAG [2]. For the box problem above, you might want to consider integrating symbolic reasoning tools such as prolog, or consider using reasoning models and developing your own reinforcement learning environments. Needless to say, all of these aspects need to be carefully balanced and optimized to work together, and you need to follow a benchmark/dataset centric-approach to developing your solution. For this task consider frameworks that were designed to optimize llm/agentic workflows as a whole [3][4].
Shit is complex really.
