A simple web application for a OpenAI-enabled document search. This repo uses Azure OpenAI Service for creating embeddings vectors from documents. For answering the question of a user, it retrieves the most relevant document and then uses GPT-3 to extract the matching answer for the question.
Enterprise QnA is built on a pattern the AI community calls "Retrieval-Augmented Generation" (RAG). In addition to this repository having a reference architecture on how to implement this pattern on Azure, here are resources to familiarize yourself with the concepts in RAG, and samples to learn each underlying product's APIs:
| Resource | Links | Purpose | Highlights |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reference Architecture | GitHub (This Repo) | Starter template for enterprise development. - Easily deployable reference architecture following best practices. | - Frontend is Azure OpenAI chat orchestrated with Langchain. - Composes Form Recognizer, Azure Search, Redis in an end-to-end design. - Supports working with Azure Search, Redis. |
| Educational Blog Post | Microsoft Blog, GitHub |
Learn about the building blocks in a RAG solution. | - Introduction to the key elements in a RAG architecture. - Understand the role of vector search in RAG scenarios. - See how Azure Search supports this pattern. - Understand the role of prompts and orchestrator like Langchain. |
| Azure OpenAI API Sample | GitHub | Get started with Azure OpenAI features. | - Sample code to make an interactive chat client as a web page. - Helps you get started with latest Azure OpenAI APIs |
| Business Process Automation Samples | GitHub | Showcase multiple BPA scenarios implemented with Form Recognizer and Azure services. | - Consolidates in one repository multiple samples related to BPA and document understanding. - Includes an end to end app, GUI to create and customize a pipeline to integrate multiple Azure Cognitive services. - Samples include document intelligence and search. |
We have made some changes to the data format in the latest update of this repo.
The new format is more efficient and compatible with the latest standards and libraries. However, we understand that some of you may have existing applications that rely on the previous format and may not be able to migrate to the new one immediately.
Therefore, we have provided a way for you to continue using the previous format in a running application. All you need to do is to set your web application tag to fruocco/oai-embeddings:2023-03-27_25. This will ensure that your application will use the data format that was available on March 27, 2023. We strongly recommend that you update your applications to use the new format as soon as possible.
If you want to move to the new format, please go to:
- "Add Document" -> "Add documents in Batch" and click on "Convert all files and add embeddings" to reprocess your documents.
By default, the repo uses an Instruction based model (like text-davinci-003) for QnA and Chat experience.
If you want to use a Chat based deployment (gpt-35-turbo or gpt-4-32k or gpt-4), please change the environment variables as described here
You have multiple options to run the code:
- Deploy on Azure (WebApp + Batch Processing) with Azure Cognitive Search
- Deploy on Azure (WebApp + Azure Cache for Redis + Batch Processing)
- Deploy on Azure/Azure China (WebApp + Redis Stack + Batch Processing)
- Deploy on Azure/Azure China (WebApp + Azure PostgreSQL + Batch Processing)
- Run everything locally in Docker (WebApp + Redis Stack + Batch Processing)
- Run everything locally in Python with Conda (WebApp only)
- Run everything locally in Python with venv
- Run WebApp locally in Docker against an existing Redis deployment
Click on the Deploy to Azure button and configure your settings in the Azure Portal as described in the Environment variables section.
Please be aware that you need:
- an existing Azure OpenAI resource with models deployments (instruction models e.g. text-davinci-003, and embeddings models e.g. text-embedding-ada-002)
Azure Cognitive Search supports searching using pure vectors, pure text, or in hybrid mode where both are combined. For the vector-based cases, you'll need to sign up for Vector Search Private Preview. To sign up, please fill in this form: https://aka.ms/VectorSearchSignUp.
Preview functionality is provided under Supplemental Terms of Use, without a service level agreement, and isn't recommended for production workloads.
Click on the Deploy to Azure button to automatically deploy a template on Azure by with the resources needed to run this example. This option will provision an instance of Azure Cache for Redis with RediSearch installed to store vectors and perform the similiarity search.
Please be aware that you still need:
- an existing Azure OpenAI resource with models deployments (instruction models e.g.
text-davinci-003, and embeddings models e.g.text-embedding-ada-002) - an existing Form Recognizer Resource
- an existing Translator Resource
- Azure marketplace access. (Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise uses the marketplace for IP billing)
You will add the endpoint and access key information for these resources when deploying the template.
Click on the Deploy to Azure button and configure your settings in the Azure Portal as described in the Environment variables section.
Please be aware that you need:
- an existing Azure OpenAI resource with models deployments (instruction models e.g.
text-davinci-003, and embeddings models e.g.text-embedding-ada-002) - an existing Form Recognizer Resource (OPTIONAL - if you want to extract text out of documents)
- an existing Translator Resource (OPTIONAL - if you want to translate documents)
Click on the Deploy to Azure button and configure your settings in the Azure Portal as described in the Environment variables section.
First, clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/ruoccofabrizio/azure-open-ai-embeddings-qna
cd azure-open-ai-embeddings-qnaNext, configure your .env as described in Environment variables:
cp .env.template .env
vi .env # or use whatever you feel comfortable withFinally run the application:
docker compose upOpen your browser at http://localhost:8080
This will spin up three Docker containers:
- The WebApp itself
- Redis Stack for storing the embeddings
- Batch Processing Azure Function
NOTE: Please note that the Batch Processing Azure Function uses an Azure Storage Account for queuing the documents to process. Please create a Queue named "doc-processing" in the account used for the "AzureWebJobsStorage" env setting.
This requires Redis running somewhere and expects that you've setup .env as described above. In this case, point REDIS_ADDRESS to your Redis deployment.
You can run a local Redis instance via:
docker run -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack-server:latestYou can run a local Batch Processing Azure Function:
docker run -p 7071:80 fruocco/oai-batch:latestCreate conda environment for Python:
conda env create -f code/environment.yml
conda activate openai-qna-envConfigure your .env as described in as described in Environment variables
Run WebApp:
cd code
streamlit run OpenAI_Queries.pyThis requires Redis running somewhere and expects that you've setup .env as described above. In this case, point REDIS_ADDRESS to your Redis deployment.
