[📢 Talk #1] – From prompts to RAG Apps
Talk details:
This session will walk through the architecture for an app that can use your data (PDFs, Web pages) to answer questions using Azure OpenAI and Azure Cognitive Search. We will cover a broad range of concepts from prompt engineering to implementing the RAG (retrieval augmented generation) pattern. The aim is to have fun with large language models and learn more on how to get started building your own generative AI apps.

Speaker: Rivaaj Jumna @ Microsoft
