Build agentic RAG that drives measurable full-funnel growth

Growthcurve designs RAG AI agent strategies that connect your data to LLM workflows you can trust and measure. We combine retrieval-augmented generation with multi-agent orchestration so outputs are grounded in your CRM, content, and performance signals, not guesswork. You get a clear roadmap, a working prototype, and an implementation plan that fits your stack and team. The result is faster campaign iteration, more consistent personalisation, and safer automation across the funnel.

Grounded outputs, fewer hallucinations
Autonomous testing across channels
From scattered data to dependable marketing decisions

From scattered data to dependable marketing decisions

Most AI marketing programmes fail for one simple reason: the model does not know your business, so it improvises. RAG changes that by retrieving the right facts from your sources before generation, and agentic RAG takes it further by assigning specialised agents to plan, fetch, validate, and execute tasks. We start by mapping your highest-value use cases across awareness to retention. Next we audit data sources (CRM, CMS, product analytics, support, ad accounts) and define what is safe to use. We then design the retrieval layer (vector store, hybrid search, reranking) and the agent workflow (routing, tool calling, memory). Finally, we define governance and handover. You get grounded outputs, faster cycle times, and a system your team can run with confidence.

Why this matters now

Marketing teams are being pushed to move faster while budgets tighten and channels fragment. Generic AI helps you produce more, but it can also amplify errors, create brand risk, and waste spend when outputs are not grounded in your actual data. At the same time, your first-party data is becoming more valuable as tracking gets harder and buyers expect relevance across every touchpoint. RAG AI agents address this moment by connecting models to your CRM, content, and performance signals in real time, then using multi-step agent workflows to test and execute. The stakes are simple: either you build a dependable automation layer that learns, or you fall behind competitors who can iterate and personalise at speed.
Top-of-funnel: real-time creative that stays on-brand

Top-of-funnel: real-time creative that stays on-brand

At the top of the funnel, speed and relevance win, but generic AI copy risks brand drift and weak differentiation. With RAG AI agents, we pull from brand guidelines, positioning, approved claims, seasonality calendars, competitor benchmarks, and live social signals to create and refresh creative variants continuously. Practically, we set up retrieval over your brand and product knowledge, then connect listening and scraping sources to feed trend prompts. Agents generate multiple ad angles, hooks, and landing page variants, then propose experiments aligned to your audience hypotheses. Where appropriate, we use multimodal RAG to learn from winning visuals and translate them into new concepts. Research shows this approach can lift click-through rates by 25 to 35 percent through real-time iteration, while keeping messaging consistent.

Mid-funnel: agent swarms that nurture and qualify leads

Mid-funnel: agent swarms that nurture and qualify leads

Mid-funnel performance often stalls because teams cannot tailor follow-up at scale, and hand-offs between marketing and sales are messy. Agentic RAG makes lead nurturing more specific and timely by querying interaction history, intent signals, and CRM fields to decide what to say next and where to say it. We design a multi-agent system where one agent retrieves the right context (webinars watched, pages viewed, objections raised), another writes channel-specific messages, and a third checks compliance and tone. The system can orchestrate sequenced journeys across email, SMS, and retargeting, with propensity scoring to prioritise effort. We also build playbooks for common paths like pricing-page visits or competitor comparisons. Done well, this can improve pipeline velocity by around 20 percent by reducing lag and increasing relevance.

Where this fits

This strategy sits between your data stack and your growth execution. It typically connects to a CDP such as Segment or mParticle, a headless CMS or content repository, your CRM, and your analytics and ad platforms. The agent layer then uses tool calling to trigger actions like generating creative variants, updating nurture sequences, creating audience segments, or summarising weekly performance for stakeholders. We fit around your team, not the other way round: marketing owns goals and approvals, data and engineering support access and security, and we run the build and optimisation work. If you already have LLM tooling, we plug into it; if not, we design an enterprise-ready approach with governance, logging, and review workflows.
Bottom-funnel: just-in-time offers and conversion optimisation

Bottom-funnel: just-in-time offers and conversion optimisation

When buyers are close to purchase, the wrong incentive or timing can cost you the deal. With RAG AI agents, we analyse cart abandonment patterns, purchase intent signals, and micro-segment behaviours to trigger interventions that are specific to the user and consistent with margin rules. We start by defining guardrails: approved offer types, pricing constraints, and escalation rules to humans. Then we connect product analytics, commerce events, and CRM opportunity stages into the retrieval layer. Agents decide on the best next action: an offer, a sales prompt, a help message, or a retargeting sequence. For experimentation, we can use multi-armed bandit approaches to allocate traffic as results emerge. Research indicates these workflows can lift conversions by 15 to 30 percent, especially where intent signals are strong.

What success looks like

Success starts with reliability before scale. Leading indicators include higher retrieval precision (the system consistently cites the right internal sources), lower rework from brand or compliance issues, and faster launch cycles for experiments. In the funnel, you should see more relevant creative testing at the top, smoother MQL to SQL progression in the middle, and better conversion handling at the bottom through timely interventions. We also look for operational signals: reduced content production cost through reuse of grounded knowledge, fewer manual reports thanks to automated summaries with explainable reasoning, and a steady decrease in cost per insight or query as the system is tuned. The key lever is continuous optimisation, not a one-off build.
What is RAG AI agent strategy, in plain English?
It is a way to make AI useful and reliable for marketing by connecting it to your real business information and giving it structured tasks. RAG (retrieval-augmented generation) means the system fetches relevant facts from sources like your CRM, docs, and analytics before it writes or decides anything. The agent part means multiple specialised AI components can plan steps, call tools, run checks, and execute actions, not just generate text. The goal is grounded automation: faster work, fewer mistakes, and decisions based on evidence rather than generic model output.
How does RAG reduce hallucinations and brand risk?
RAG reduces hallucinations by forcing the model to use retrieved context that comes from approved sources, such as your brand guidelines, pricing pages, policy docs, and CRM fields. In practice we implement hybrid retrieval (dense and sparse search) and reranking so the best evidence is surfaced, then we design prompts that require citations or source references. Research suggests grounded RAG can cut hallucinations by roughly 40 to 60 percent in campaign generation. We also add guardrails: banned claims, approved language, and human review steps for high-risk outputs like pricing or regulated categories.
What marketing use cases are best for agentic RAG?
The best early wins are use cases with clear inputs, repeatable decisions, and measurable outcomes. Examples include generating on-brand ad variants from a tested message library, building micro-segments using CRM and behaviour signals, drafting nurture sequences based on interaction history, and summarising performance with clear reasoning and next actions. We also see strong impact in conversion moments such as cart abandonment interventions or sales enablement responses grounded in your product docs. We usually start with one funnel stage, prove reliability, then expand across awareness, consideration, conversion, and retention.
Do we need a vector database, knowledge graph, or both?
Not always both, but you need a retrieval layer that matches your data. Vector databases are great for semantic search across unstructured content like pages, PDFs, transcripts, and creative learnings. Knowledge graphs help when relationships matter, such as mapping products to audiences, features to objections, or accounts to decision-makers. Many advanced setups use both, sometimes called Graph RAG, to combine semantic similarity with relational reasoning. We will recommend a right-sized architecture based on your use cases, existing stack, and security constraints, rather than pushing complexity you will not maintain.
How do multi-agent systems actually work in marketing execution?
Think of it as a small team with clear roles. One agent routes the request and chooses tools, another retrieves the right context from the vector store and CRM, another synthesises content or recommendations, and a final agent validates against rules like tone, compliance, and offer constraints. The system can then execute actions through tool calling, such as updating an email sequence, creating an audience list, or generating experiment briefs. This structure is what makes agentic RAG suitable for multi-step tasks like dynamic segmentation, bid strategy suggestions, or iterative A/B test optimisation.
What data do you need from us to start?
We typically start with read access to your brand and product assets (guidelines, key pages, positioning docs), plus analytics and CRM exports or APIs for a narrow scope. If the first use case is top-of-funnel creative, we prioritise message libraries, creative performance history, and audience definitions. For mid-funnel nurturing, we prioritise CRM fields, lifecycle stages, and interaction logs. We do not need everything on day one. We prefer a thin-slice approach: ingest a limited, high-quality corpus, validate retrieval, then expand safely as the system proves value.
How do you measure whether the agents are performing well?
We measure both marketing impact and system quality. On the marketing side, we track funnel metrics relevant to your scope: engagement quality and CTR for awareness, MQL to SQL progression for consideration, and conversion rate, ROAS, CAC and LTV signals for purchase and retention. On the system side, we track observability metrics like latency, cost per query, retrieval hit rate, and faithfulness or grounding scores. The point is to catch failure modes early, such as irrelevant retrieval, slow responses, or outputs that do not align with your brand rules, and fix them in a regular optimisation cadence.
What are the biggest risks with RAG AI agents, and how do you mitigate them?
Common risks include retrieval drift (the knowledge base becomes outdated), poor retrieval quality (the system pulls the wrong context), and over-automation (agents making changes without enough control). We mitigate drift with periodic reindexing, active learning loops, and clear ownership of source updates. We improve retrieval quality using hybrid search (for example BM25 plus embeddings) and reranking, then we test against a set of real prompts from your team. For over-automation, we define approval gates, safe actions versus restricted actions, logging, and rollback plans so you stay in control.
How long does it take to get to a working prototype?
Timelines depend on data access and the scope of the first use case, but we aim to prove value quickly with a thin-slice prototype. Typically we run a discovery and architecture sprint, ingest a limited set of approved sources, and demonstrate grounded outputs for one workflow such as creative iteration or lead nurture recommendations. From there, we harden the pipeline with permissions, observability, and QA, then expand use cases across the funnel. Because we operate as a complete growth team and integrate with your staff, we can usually move far faster than a net-new in-house build.
Will this replace our marketing team or agency partners?
No. The best results come when agents do the repetitive, high-volume work and your team focuses on strategy, brand, and judgement. Agentic RAG is particularly strong for drafting, personalising, analysing, and proposing experiments, but it still needs human direction, approval, and creative taste. We integrate as your internal team to build and run the system, and we can collaborate with existing partners where it makes sense. If you are relying on inconsistent freelancers for core workflows, this approach can reduce that dependency by making output quality and process more repeatable.
Retention and expansion: lifecycle agents that learn over time

Retention and expansion: lifecycle agents that learn over time

Retention is where the economics of growth are won, but it is hard to personalise lifecycle marketing without heavy manual work. Agentic RAG enables post-purchase agents to monitor NPS feedback, sentiment, support topics, usage patterns, and key lifecycle events, then recommend actions that protect revenue. We design retrieval over customer context and policy documents, and build agents that can draft win-back sequences, loyalty escalations, and product education campaigns tailored to segment and stage. Where appropriate, we incorporate reinforcement learning from human feedback so the system improves with review cycles, rather than drifting. We also add memory augmentation so important customer details persist safely across interactions. The outcome is more consistent customer communication, faster response to churn signals, and a lifecycle engine that improves with each iteration.

Measurement, observability, and continuous iteration

Measurement, observability, and continuous iteration

AI automation without measurement is just faster chaos. We set clear full-funnel metrics and observability so you can see what the agents are doing, why they chose an action, and what it cost. We define TOFU metrics like impressions and engagement quality, MOFU progression from MQL to SQL, and BOFU outcomes such as ROAS, CAC, and LTV:CAC trends. On the AI side, we track latency, retrieval hit rate, faithfulness scores, and cost per query, plus drift indicators that signal when the knowledge base is getting stale. We run a weekly optimisation cadence: review experiments, update retrieval sources, refine prompts and tools, and prune failing agent behaviours. You get a real-time performance dashboard and an evidence-led loop that reduces marketing guesswork.

How we deliver: clear ownership, secure access, rapid sprints

How we deliver: clear ownership, secure access, rapid sprints

RAG AI agent strategy touches data, creative, and operations, so delivery needs structure. We integrate like your internal team and agree working rhythms and SLAs upfront: response times, review windows, and decision owners. In week one we run a discovery and architecture sprint, then deliver a prioritised roadmap and a thin-slice prototype that proves retrieval quality. Next we harden the pipeline: permissions, data contracts, indexing schedules, and tool calling policies. We then expand use cases across channels with a release cadence that your team can follow, including QA checks and rollback plans. You can scale the specialist team up or down as needs change, on a monthly rolling basis. The result is faster progress than in-house builds, without long-term lock-in.
