This sample demonstrates a few approaches for creating ChatGPT-like experiences over your own data using the Retrieval Augmented Generation pattern. It uses Azure OpenAI Service to access the ChatGPT model (gpt-35-turbo), and Azure Cognitive Search for data indexing and retrieval.

The repo includes sample data so it's ready to try end to end. In this sample application we use a fictitious company called Contoso Electronics, and the experience allows its employees to ask questions about the benefits, internal policies, as well as job descriptions and roles.

• Chat and Q&A interfaces
• Explores various options to help users evaluate the trustworthiness of responses with citations, tracking of source content, etc.
• Shows possible approaches for data preparation, prompt construction, and orchestration of interaction between model (ChatGPT) and retriever (Cognitive Search)
• Settings directly in the UX to tweak the behavior and experiment with options

IMPORTANT: In order to deploy and run this example, you'll need an Azure subscription with access enabled for the Azure OpenAI service. You can request access here.

• Azure Developer CLI (install from here)
• Python (install from here)
  • Imporant: Python and the pip package manager must in the path in Windows for the setup scripts to work.
• Node.js (install from here)
• Git (install from here)
• Powershell (pwsh) (install from here)
  • Imporant: Ensure you can run pwsh.exe from a PowerShell command. If this fails, you likely need to upgrade PowerShell.

Starting from scratch:

1. Create a new folder and switch to it in the terminal
2. Run "azd up -t azure-search-openai-demo"
   • For the target location, the regions that currently support the models used in this sample are East US or South Central US. For an up-to-date list of regions and models, check here

Deploying or re-deploying a local clone of the repo:

• Simply run "azd up"

Running locally:

• Run ./app/start.cmd or run the "VS Code Task: Start App" to start the project locally.

** AZURE RESOURCE COSTS ** by default this sample will create Azure App Service and Azure Cognitive Search resources that have a monthly cost. You can switch them to free versions of each of them if you want to avoid this cost by changing the parameters file under the infra folder (though there are some limits to consider; for example, you can have up to 1 free Cognitive Search resource per subscription.)

• In Azure: navigate to the Azure WebApp deployed by azd. The URL is printed out when azd completes (as "Endpoint"), or you can find it in the Azure portal.
• Running locally: navigate to 127.0.0.1:5000

Once in the web app:

• Try different topics in chat or Q&A context. For chat, try follow up questions, clarifications, ask to simplify or elaborate on answer, etc.
• Explore citations and sources
• Click on "settings" to try different options, tweak prompts, etc.
