arXiv · Artificial Intelligence · article · Sep 17, 2026 · UTC

Effective troubleshooting agents in enterprise customer support depend on retrieving actionable guidance from similar historical cases, yet existing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems treat support cases as static documents and overlook their multi-stage, stateful nature. We introduce RAFT (Retrieval-Augmented Framework for Troubleshooting Agents), a stateful RAG framework that abstracts each closed historical case into a directed chain of timeline entries and retrieves at the entry level, surfacing cases whose intermediate states match the active case and returning the parent-case t
