Want to build a RAG-based custom chat AI code-first but don’t know where to start? In this talk, we’ll deconstruct Contoso Chat, an open-source sample that teaches you how to build a retail chat AI with product data in Azure AI Search and customer data in Azure Cosmos DB.

We’ll walk through the GenAIOps lifecycle—from ideation to evaluation to deployment—and introduce the tools and techniques that can streamline development on the Azure AI Foundry platform. Plus, you’ll walk away with a sandbox sample that you can explore and extend on your own!
