Wikatoni: an agentic AI system for energy engineering workflows.

Capturing expertise and enabling efficient information retrieval are critical in the energy sector, where high staff turnover can lead to significant knowledge loss. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a solution by grounding Large Language Model (LLM) outputs in documented sources, but its effectiveness is limited by reliance on general purpose embeddings. We present Wikatoni, an agentic AI system for energy engineering workflows that integrates a novel domain-specific embedding model. Wikatoni combines fine-tuned embeddings with agentic RAG, metadata filtering, and hybrid retrieval to improve document search, automated reporting, and workflow efficiency. Evaluation on internal enterprise offshore energy data shows that the domain-adapted embedding improves recall by 10%, and Wikatoni agentic RAG further increases answer accuracy by 14% compared to vanilla RAG with the base embedding model, achieving the best overall performance in context recall, faithfulness, and answer accuracy.

Abstract

Capturing expertise and enabling efficient information retrieval are critical in the energy sector, where high staff turnover can lead to significant knowledge loss. Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) offers a solution by grounding Large Language Model (LLM) outputs in documented sources, but its effectiveness is limited by reliance on general purpose embeddings. We present Wikatoni, an agentic AI system for energy engineering workflows that integrates a novel domain-specific embedding model. Wikatoni combines fine-tuned embeddings with agentic RAG, metadata filtering, and hybrid retrieval to improve document search, automated reporting, and workflow efficiency. Evaluation on internal enterprise offshore energy data shows that the domain-adapted embedding improves recall by 10%, and Wikatoni agentic RAG further increases answer accuracy by 14% compared to vanilla RAG with the base embedding model, achieving the best overall performance in context recall, faithfulness, and answer accuracy.
