Hack Together: The AI Chat App Hack

# Hack Together: The AI Chat App Hack

Introduction

🛠️ Build, innovate, and #HackTogether!🛠️ It's time to get started building your first AI Chat App, using the power of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). 🤖 + 📚 = 🔥

GPT models are powerful language generators, but they don't know everything about the world. RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) combines the power of GPT with the knowledge of a search engine. This allows you to ask questions of your own data, and get answers that are relevant to the context of your question. We'll show you how to build a RAG Chat App using Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, and Python, and extend it for your own data sources.

Hack Together is your playground for coding and experimenting with RAG Chat Apps. With mentorship from Microsoft experts and access to the latest tech, you will learn how to build apps using the most exciting technology - LLMs and vector search databases! The possibilities are endless for what you can create... plus you can submit your hack for a chance to win exciting prizes! 🥳

The hackathon starts on January 29th and ends on February 12th. It is recommended for participants to follow the Hack Together Roadmap for a successful hackathon.
