In this session, we will dive into implementing Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) using Azure OpenAI Service, a technique that enhances model responses by grounding them in specific, custom data sources. You’ll learn how to set up RAG in Azure OpenAI, configure data sources for enhanced response accuracy, and interact with models using API calls to deliver data-informed responses. Hands-on exercises will allow participants to practice integrating RAG with their applications, streamlining knowledge retrieval and improving response relevance.
