Introduction to Building AI Apps

This repository introduces and helps organizations get started with building AI Apps and incorporating Large Language Models (LLMs) into them.

Workshop Agenda

The objective of this workshop is to practice realistic AI orchestration scenarios towards learning how to build intelligent apps. At the end of the workshop you will:

• Know how to use prompt engineering techniques for effective generative AI responses on OpenAI
• Understand the implications of the usage of tokens and embeddings when interacting with an LLM
• Have experience in leveraging AI orchestrators like Langchain/ Semantic Kernel with Azure OpenAI
• Have evaluated different Vectorstores like Qdrant/ Azure Cognitive Search to enhance LLM responses with your data and context
• Know how to turn a business scenario with data, context and user input into an intelligent application on Azure
