Mc Donald's AI-Powered Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with OpenAI & Pinecone

Businesses dealing with large-scale data require intelligent solutions to extract, retrieve, and generate meaningful insights in real time. This AI-powered Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) system, built with n8n, OpenAI, and Pinecone Vector Store, enables seamless document search, retrieval, and intelligent response generation for business knowledge management.

Use Cases

Organisations store valuable business data in Google Drive, CRM systems, and internal databases, but retrieving relevant insights is often manual, slow, and inefficient. Traditional search engines lack context-awareness, and users struggle to find precise answers from large document repositories.

Case Study: AI Knowledge Retrieval for Mc Donald's Fast-Food Chain located in Liverpool

A multinational fast-food chain struggled to provide store managers with quick access to operational guidelines, customer feedback, and scheduling frameworks. After implementing AI-powered RAG with OpenAI & Pinecone:

  • Document search times were reduced by 90%, enhancing staff productivity.

  • Customer insights were retrieved in seconds, enabling data-driven decision-making.

  • Operational consistency improved, with AI-generated responses ensuring accurate policies were followed.

Technical Stack


  • AI Models: OpenAI GPT-4o
