Build agents with knowledge, agentic RAG and Azure AI Search | BRK193

Start building your next agent with the latest knowledge features from Azure AI Search. In this session, we will demo how to connect your agentic retrieval engine to new knowledge sources like Sharepoint, web and blob. We will also walk through new controls available to improve your RAG performance, across query planning, retrieval and answer generation. Join this code-focused breakout for samples and step-by-step guidance on connecting knowledge to your next agent.
