Copilots can work alongside you to provide suggestions, generate content, or help you make decisions. Copilots 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 a copilot retrieves information from a specific source, you can add your own data when building a copilot with the Azure AI Studio.

Lessons

- Introduction.

- Understand how to ground your language model

- Make your data searchable

- Build a copilot with prompt flow

- Exercise - Create a custom copilot that uses your own data

- Knowledge check

- Summary.

By the end of this module, you'll be able to:

- Identify the need to ground your language model with Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

- Index your data with Azure AI Search to make it searchable for language models

- Build a copilot using RAG on your own data in the Azure AI Studio
