    From the README

    This solution creates a ChatGPT-like frontend experience over your own documents using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). It uses Azure OpenAI Service to access GPT models, and Azure AI Search for data indexing and retrieval.

    This solution's backend is written in Python. There are also JavaScript, .NET, and Java samples based on this one. Learn more about developing AI apps using Azure AI Services.

    This template, the application code and configuration it contains, has been built to showcase Microsoft Azure specific services and tools. We strongly advise our customers not to make this code part of their production environments without implementing or enabling additional security features. See our productionizing guide for tips, and consult the Azure OpenAI Landing Zone reference architecture for more best practices.

    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 a GPT model (gpt-4.1-mini), and Azure AI Search for data indexing and retrieval.
