A reference sample application implementing the Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern on Azure, combining Azure AI Search for document indexing/retrieval with Azure OpenAI GPT models to power a ChatGPT-style chat and Q&A experience over your own documents. It ships as an azd template with a Python backend, TypeScript frontend, and Bicep infrastructure-as-code for one-command Azure deployment.

Use cases

  • build a chatbot that answers questions over my own documents
  • deploy a RAG app on Azure with OpenAI and AI Search
  • ChatGPT-like interface over private company data
  • index PDFs and query them with an LLM
  • learn how to implement retrieval-augmented generation end to end
  • starting template for an enterprise AI chat app on Azure

When to choose

  • you are committed to the Azure ecosystem (Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, App Service)
  • you want a production-shaped, well-maintained reference architecture with IaC included
  • you need a quick starting point for a document Q&A chat experience

When to avoid

  • you want a cloud-agnostic or self-hosted stack without Azure dependencies
  • you need production-grade security out of the box - the README warns extra hardening is required
  • you want to avoid Azure OpenAI and AI Search costs, which can be significant
