IMPORTANT: In order to deploy and run this example, you'll need an Azure subscription with access enabled for the Azure OpenAI service. You can request access here. You can also visit here to get some free Azure credits to get you started. Your Azure Account must have
Microsoft.Authorization/roleAssignments/write
permissions, such as User Access Administrator or Owner.
AZURE RESOURCE COSTS by default this sample will create Azure App Service and Azure Cognitive Search resources that have a monthly cost, as well as Form Recognizer resource that has cost per document page. You can switch them to free versions of each of them if you want to avoid this cost by changing the parameters file under the infra folder (though there are some limits to consider; for example, you can have up to 1 free Cognitive Search resource per subscription, and the free Form Recognizer resource only analyzes the first 2 pages of each document.)
This project has Dev Container support, so it will be be setup automatically if you open it in Github Codespaces or in local VS Code with the Dev Containers extension.
If you're not using one of those options for opening the project, then you'll need to:
-
Install prerequisites:
- Azure Developer CLI
- Python 3+
- Important: Python and the pip package manager must be in the path in Windows for the setup scripts to work.
- Node.js
- Git
- Powershell 7+ (pwsh) - For Windows users only.
- Important: Ensure you can run
pwsh.exe
from a PowerShell command. If this fails, you likely need to upgrade PowerShell.
If you don't have any pre-existing Azure services (i.e. OpenAI or Cognitive Search service), then you can provision all resources from scratch by following these steps:
- Run
azd auth login
to login to your Azure account. - Run
azd up
to provision Azure resources and deploy this sample to those resources. This also runs a script to build the search index based on files in the./data
folder.- For the target location, the regions that currently support the models used in this sample are East US or South Central US. For an up-to-date list of regions and models, check here
- After the application has been successfully deployed you will see a URL printed to the console. Click that URL to interact with the application in your browser.
NOTE: It may take a minute for the application to be fully deployed. If you see a "Python Developer" welcome screen, then wait a minute and refresh the page.
If you have existing Azure resources that you want to reuse, then you must first set azd
environment variables before running azd up
.
Run the following commands based on what you want to customize:
azd env set AZURE_OPENAI_RESOURCE {Name of existing OpenAI service}
azd env set AZURE_OPENAI_RESOURCE_GROUP {Name of existing resource group that OpenAI service is provisioned to}
azd env set AZURE_OPENAI_SKU_NAME {Name of OpenAI SKU}
. Defaults to 'S0'.azd env set AZURE_SEARCH_SERVICE {Name of existing Cognitive Search service}
azd env set AZURE_SEARCH_SERVICE_RESOURCE_GROUP {Name of existing resource group that Cognitive Search service is provisioned to}
azd env set AZURE_SEARCH_SKU_NAME {Name of Cognitive Search SKY}
. Defaults to 'standard'.azd env set AZURE_FORMRECOGNIZER_SERVICE {Name of existing Form Recognizer service}
. Used by prepdocs.py for text extraction from docs.azd env set AZURE_FORMRECOGNIZER_SERVICE_RESOURCE_GROUP {Name of existing resource group that Form Recognizer service is provisioned to}
.azd env set AZURE_FORMRECOGNIZER_SKU_NAME {Name of Form Recognizer SKU}
. Defaults to 'S0'.

to provision Azure resources and deploy this sample to those resources. This also runs a script to build the search index based on files in the./data

NOTE: It may take a minute for the application to be fully deployed. If you see a "Python Developer" welcome screen, then wait a minute and refresh the page.
If you make any changes to the app code (JS or Python), you can re-deploy the app code to App Service by running the azd deploy
command.
If you change any of the Bicep files in the infra folder, then you should re-run azd up
to both provision resources and deploy code.
- Run
azd auth login
- Run
./start.cmd
or./start.sh
to start the project locally. - Navigate to
http://127.0.0.1:5000
in your browser. The deployed code requires authentication, but the local app should allow access as long as it's access from127.0.0.1
