Introduction¶

Learning Objectives¶

The workshop teaches you to build, evaluate, and deploy a retail copilot code-first on Azure AI. By the end of the workshop, you will learn to:

Use the Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) pattern
(to ground responses in your own data).
Use Prompty with Azure AI Foundry for code-first development
(to take your copilot from prompt to production)
Use Azure Container Apps
for deployment (to get a hosted API endpoint for real-world use).
Use Dev Containers with GitHub Codespaces
(to get a consistent, reproducible environment across teams)
Use Azure Developer CLI with AI Application Templates
(to provision & deploy apps consistently across teams)
