The RAG pattern enables businesses to use the reasoning capabilities of LLMs, using their existing models to process and generate responses based on new data. RAG facilitates periodic data updates without the need for fine-tuning, thereby streamlining the integration of LLMs into businesses.

The Enterprise RAG Solution Accelerator (GPT-RAG) offers a robust architecture tailored for enterprise-grade deployment of the RAG pattern. It ensures grounded responses and is built on Zero-trust security and Responsible AI, ensuring availability, scalability, and auditability. Ideal for organizations transitioning from exploration and PoC stages to full-scale production and MVPs.

Components

• Data ingestion Optimizes data preparation for Azure OpenAI.

• Orchestrator The system's dynamic backbone ensuring scalability and a consistent user experience.

• App Front-End Built with Azure App Services and the Backend for Front-End pattern, offers a smooth and scalable user interface.

• Teams-BOT Constructed using Azure BOT Services, this platform enables users to engage with the Orchestrator seamlessly through the Microsoft Teams interface
