Azure Function App using Normal Search

This project implements two Azure Function APIs:

1. IndexDocuments: Accepts a document link (PDF or DOCX) and indexes it into Azure AI search.
2. QueryKnowledgeBase: Queries the indexed documents and retrieves relevant information using OpenAI's GPT model.

Features

IndexDocuments:

• Reads documents from Azure Blob Storage.
• Splits document content into chunks.
• Indexes chunks into Azure AI search.
• Handles errors and returns a status message.

QueryKnowledgeBase:

• Takes a user query and searches through the indexed content.
• Uses GPT to return relevant information or null if no relevant information is found.

Technologies Used

• Azure Functions
• Azure AI Search
• Azure OpenAI
• Python
• Postman
