Microsoft’s latest move to streamline the building of generative AI applications has arrived. In a public preview release, Logic Apps Standard now boasts built-in actions for document parsing and chunking, paving the way for a smoother, low-code approach to Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)-based ingestion. What’s the Big Deal? For those unacquainted, RAG is a technique that marries the strengths of retrieval models (finding relevant information) with generative models (creating new content).
