Build knowledge-enhanced AI agents with Foundry IQ – RAG

I have built a Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solution using the Azure AI Search SDK and Azure OpenAI SDK. There is a lot to know about not only coding, configuring, and managing those components, but how they must be tuned, fed, and optimized are aspects which we are still in a state of learning and […]

Integrate MCP Tools with AI Agents – Local MCP server

I recently wrote this article Integrate custom tools into an AI Agent which illustrates how to configure tools and an AI Agent to call those tools.  In that article there was no Model Context Protocol (MCP) capability utilized.  MCP provides the following benefits when compared to integrating custom tools directly from code. Dynamic tool discovery […]

Integrate custom tools into an AI Agent

Before learning what I discovered while integrating tools into an AI Agent, I was a bit perplexed regarding how the LLM was able to determine which tool to use and even which tools are available for use.  Well, how it works is not a mystery, it is clearly described in the code.  In this post […]

Using Azure AI Language studio to improve RAG grounding document discovery

Azure AI Language Studio

A very critical part of implementing a Generative AI solution that utilizes Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) like Microsoft Copilot is the discovery of the most relevant grounding documents.  These most relevant grounding documents are then passed to the LLM for use in generating the NLP response.  For example, if you want to find out how […]
