Build a RAG-based agent with your own data using Azure AI Foundry

Agents can work alongside you to provide suggestions, generate content, or help you make decisions. Agents use language models as a form of generative artificial intelligence (AI) and will answer your questions using the data they were trained on. To ensure an agent retrieves information from a specific source, you can add your own data when building an agent with the Azure AI Foundry.

  • Introduction
  • Understand how to ground your language model
  • Make your data searchable
  • Build an agent with prompt flow
  • Exercise - Create a custom agent that uses your own data
  • Knowledge check
