Session Abstract

This session shows you how to deploy and run an enterprise ChatGPT like app that implements chat using Python, Azure OpenAI Service, and Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) in Azure AI Search to get answers about your own data. We'll use documents about employee benefits and seeded the language model with PDF files including an employee handbook, a benefits document and a list of company roles and expectations. Then we'll see how we can ask questions and generate intelligent responses, just like ChatGPT does, except about our data!
