Title: Solving the JFK Mystery with RAG and Azure OpenAI

What happens when you give ChatGPT access to the JFK Assassination files? In this session, we’ll explore how to build a custom Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solution using Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and Azure AI Document Intelligence to make sense of one of the most infamous archives in U.S. history.
This solution creates a ChatGPT-style experience over your own documents—letting users ask questions and get answers directly from grainy memos, scanned clippings, and handwritten records. We’ll walk through the architecture, demo the working system live using JFK files, and explain the trade-offs, operating model, and costs behind it.
While the example may be fun, the use case is serious: learn how to use Azure’s powerful AI services to build RAG systems tailored to your organization’s documents—searchable, secure, and scalable.
