Recent advancements in Large Language Models and Retrieval-Augmented Generation have boosted interest in domain-specific question-answering for enterprise products. However, AI Assistants often face challenges in multi-product QA settings, requiring accurate responses across diverse domains. Existing multi-domain RAG-QA approaches either query all domains indiscriminately, increasing computational costs and LLM hallucinations, or rely on rigid resource selection, which can limit search results. We introduce MKP-QA, a novel multi-product knowledge-augmented QA framework with probabilistic federated search across domains and relevant knowledge. This method enhances multi-domain search quality by aggregating query-domain and query-passage probabilistic relevance. To address the lack of suitable benchmarks for multi-product QAs, we also present new datasets focused on three Adobe products: Adobe Experience Platform, Target, and Customer Journey Analytics. Our experiments show that MKP-QA significantly boosts multi-product RAG-QA performance in terms of both retrieval accuracy and response quality.

Despite the remarkable capabilities of large language models, current training paradigms inadvertently foster sycophancy—alignment with user-provided information, regardless of factual accuracy. In this paper, we introduce SMART (Sycophancy Mitigation through Adaptive Reasoning Trajectories), reconceptualizing sycophancy as a reasoning optimization problem rather than an output alignment issue. SMART employs a two-stage approach: (1) Uncertainty-Aware Adaptive Monte Carlo Tree Search (UA-MCTS), which dynamically adjusts exploration based on state-level uncertainty; and (2) progress-based reinforcement learning that distills these improved reasoning patterns into model adaptation. Through extensive experiments, we show that SMART significantly outperforms existing baselines in effectively reducing sycophancy while maintaining performance on out-of-distribution inputs. These findings demonstrate the importance of optimizing internal reasoning processes for developing aligned truthful AI assistant.
