In this episode of the #AzureEnablementShow, host Aaron Stark is joined by Natalie Mickey and Ivor Berry, from Microsoft Azure, to talk about how you can use Azure AI Studio to build your own Copilot.
Natalie will share all the amazing documentation provided by Microsoft to help developers get access to Azure AI Studio and get the training they need to start coding!
Next, Ivor will walk through one of the learn modules and then demonstrate how to use Azure AI Studio and prompt flow to build a custom copilot. He then shows how to connect a prompt flow to a searchable index of brochures from a fictional travel agency and how to chat with the generative AI model using the context from the search resource. He also demonstrates how to deploy the prompt flow as an endpoint.
