Welcome to azure-search-openai-demo Discussions!

👋 Welcome!

We're enabling discussions in this repo since we often get questions that aren't necessarily bugs or feature requests, but are good topics for discussion, and we want to bring together all of you developers that are working on RAG solutions.

Please make sure that if you are experiencing any sort of issue, you first search the issue tracker, as quite a few issues have been discussed there.

Feel free to introduce yourself to the community in this thread!

To introduce myself: I'm Pamela, one of the primary maintainers. I'm on the Python cloud advocacy team at Microsoft and maintain quite a few Python templates to make it easy to deploy common architectures and frameworks. You can see a list here: https://github.com/pamelafox
I enjoy working on this RAG repo, since RAG is such a powerful use of LLMs, and I love learning from all of you about what works and doesn't work when you deploy RAG on your domain.

I'll be mostly away for the next few weeks, due to the holidays, but I'll be back in full force in January and putting on a 10-part live stream series to dive deep into this repo: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/reactor/series/S-1450/

Why are we using Azure services, can't we use AWS services? Is there any specific reason for this?

This sample was created by Microsoft employees to demonstrate how well Azure AI Search works for RAG applications. AWS may have similar code solutions, I do not know since I work on Azure.
