## What it is
Azure Chat is a solution accelerator from Microsoft that lets organizations deploy a private, enterprise-grade chat application powered by Azure OpenAI in their own Azure subscription. It supports chatting over your own data and files, Entra ID authentication, managed-identity security, and integration with internal services.

## Use cases
- deploy a private ChatGPT-like chat app in my Azure tenant
- chat with my own documents using Azure OpenAI
- build an internal enterprise AI chatbot with Entra ID login
- self-host a secure chat interface over company data
- integrate Azure OpenAI with internal services like ServiceNow
- deploy an AI chat app with managed identities and no secrets

## When to choose
- you're on Azure and want a tenant-isolated, enterprise-secured chat solution
- you need authentication, network isolation, and private endpoints out of the box
- you want to chat over your own files and plug in internal data sources
- you want a Microsoft-supported accelerator with deployment automation

## When to avoid
- you don't have an Azure subscription or Azure OpenAI access
- you want a lightweight local-only chat UI without cloud deployment
- you need a provider-agnostic solution not tied to Azure OpenAI
- you need deep customization beyond what the accelerator offers
