Code AI apps on Azure - Python, Prompty & Visual Studio
Build your own custom applications with Azure AI right from your code. With Azure AI, leverage over 1,700 models, seamlessly integrating them into your coding environment to create tailored app experiences. Utilize features like Retrieval Augmented Generation and vector search to enrich responses with contextual information, as well as prebuilt Azure AI services to incorporate cognitive skills such as language, vision, and safety detection.
Dan Taylor, Principal Product Architect for Microsoft Azure AI, also shares how to streamline your development process with tools for orchestration and monitoring. Use templates to simplify resource deployment and run evaluations against large datasets to optimize performance. With Application Insights, gain visibility into your app's metrics, enabling data-driven decisions for continuous improvement.
