Build, Evaluate and Deploy a RAG-Based Retail Copilot with Azure AI

linkedin:dmsmith
slides:none on file

Backend walkthrough that builds a production RAG retail copilot using Azure AI Studio and prompt flow, with code run in GitHub Codespaces and data in Cosmos DB + Azure AI Search. Workshop provisions 11 Azure resources, indexes ~12 sample customers and product markdowns, publishes the prompt flow as a container endpoint, and wires it to GPT-3.5 (with GPT-4 used for evaluation). Evaluation pipeline asks GPT-4 to score groundedness and catches hallucinations (toothbrush example), showing the deployed flow actually works end-to-end.
