Creating RAG Application using Azure AI Search Service and Azure Open AI by Mahesh Sabnis
Building AI capabilities is the highly demanded feature in most of the software applications. To build such an application, we need a large data store. In such cases the data is stored in various formats like PDF, JSON, Docx file formats. To fetch the most appropriate data from such files needs complex operations to perform. This is where AI features come to rescue us. Using Azure OpenAI and Azure AI search service we can design and develop RAG solutions based on such data. In this session, steps for creating RAG solutions will be explained.
