azure-search-openai-demo

Why we included this project

Most teams putting a chat interface over their own documents on Azure start with this sample. It wires up the full RAG stack for you: Azure AI Search for retrieval, Azure OpenAI for the model, and a multi-turn chat UI that shows the citations behind each answer and the model's reasoning, with controls in the interface for experimenting with prompts and parameters. Sample data and a fictional company scenario let you run it end to end immediately, and the repo goes into the practical details people hit later, like supported document formats, cloud ingestion, image-heavy documents, optional speech input and output, and Entra-based login and data access. The backend is Python, with JavaScript, .NET, and Java variants maintained alongside. Treat it as a study-and-adapt reference rather than production code; the README is explicit that extra security hardening is required before deployment.
