In this workshop, we will build a chatbot based on OpenAI language models and implementing the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern. You'll use Fastify to create a Node.js service that leverage OpenAI SDK and LangChain to build a chatbot that will answer questions based on a corpus of documents, as well as a website to test it.
This workshop exists in different variants:
-
👉 See the workshop using Azure AI Search: we will use Azure AI Search to index and search the documents.
-
👉 See the workshop using Qdrant: we will use Qdrant to index and search the documents.

You can use GitHub Codespaces to work on this project directly from your browser: select the Code button, then the Codespaces tab and click on Create Codespaces on main.
You can also use the Dev Containers extension for VS Code to work locally using a ready-to-use dev environment.
This project is structured as monorepo and makes use of NPM Workspaces.
Here's the architecture of the application:
npm install
npm start
This command will start the frontend and backend services.
For these services to work, you need to have a .env
file at the root of the project with at least the following content:
AZURE_SEARCH_SERVICE=<your_azure_ai_search_instance_name>
AZURE_OPENAI_URL=<you_openai_instance_url>
The application will then be available at http://localhost:8000
.
npm run docker:build
This command will build the container images for all services.
azd auth login
azd up
This commands will first ask you to log in into Azure. Then it will provison the Azure resources, package the services and deploy them to Azure.
This workshop is based on the enterprise-ready sample ChatGPT + Enterprise data with Azure OpenAI and AI Search:
