In this presentation, we will explore the concept of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and how it can leveraged particularly in the context of enterprise solutions. RAG architecture provides the ability to create generative AI to your own proprietary content, which ensure that the information used to generate responses is tailored to specific business needs.

The key to a successful RAG architecture is the information retrieval system, which determines the inputs to the LLM. We will discuss the critical requirements for this system, including scalable indexing strategies, relevant query capabilities, security, global reach, and seamless integration with embedding and chat/language models. Azure AI Search emerges as the ideal solution. Microsoft offers several built-in approaches for using Azure AI Search in a RAG solution, such as Azure AI Studio, Azure OpenAI Studio, and Azure Machine Learning. We will also explore a custom RAG pattern that gives you more control over the architecture.
