Amazon Q is the new star at AWS Cloud. No, no it is not only another AI powered chatbot! First, Q comes across in two flavors. As Amazon Q (For AWS Builder Use), Q is your smart AI buddy for AWS which assist you with understanding, creating, expanding, and managing AWS applications. Well, this is like a built-in copilot for AWS. But wait, there is much more than that! Amazon Q is also made for business. As Amazon Q (For…
My SharePoint documents are already integrated in Azure AI Search (Azure Cognitive Search). I explained the setup in my last blog post. In detail, I created a Search Index for my SharePoint site which contains some of my conference presentations (PPTX) and handouts (PDF) files. I realized during testing; Azure OpenAI can access the information by using Azure AI Search as a retriever tool with some limitations. But I haven’t added embedding vector or similarity search in Azure AI Search….
You know the story, sometimes other things are more important and you forget to clean up. What happen is, after a while you get an email from Microsoft. Right, this email reminds you about the automated cleanup of my inactive Power Platform environments. This is good, because it helps to reduce unneeded resources. I got this email from one of my Demo Environments: In detail, I use this Dataverse Environment to simulate Application Lifecycle Management for Power Platform. In this…
Single Sign-On (SSO) is a great thing! It simplifies my life in more ways than one. With SSO, I only need one username and password from my Microsoft account to access multiple websites and apps. This is making my online experience easier and more secure. It also saves me from password fatigue and streamlines the management of my accounts. The benefits are huge, but how can I setup Single Sign-On for my AWS accounts? In other words, I want also…
In my last blog post, I explained how I use a Power Automate Flow to add my documents to Azure Cognitive Search. In detail, I copied selected files to my central Azure Blob Storage. This is not the best solution, but it outlines the possibilities of Automation in combination with Azure Cognitive Search. This time I show you, how I index my documents from SharePoint directly with Azure Cognitive Search. Right, I don’t copy my files to another storage. Now,…
Last time I explained, how I added a data source to Azure Open AI by using Azure Cognitive Search (read more). This was strait forward because I uploaded my documents directly to my Azure Blob Storage. Furthermore, Azure Blob storage is a supported data source for Azure Cognitive Search. Now, the question arises: How can I streamline this process? How can I automatically upload new documents to Azure Cognitive Search? In detail, I aim to automate the storage of new…
Today, I’m excited to introduce you to a new feature that addresses a common challenge faced by both Citizen Developers and Pro Developers. Yes, you guessed it – we’re delving into the world of creating custom connectors. But I’m not talking about the usual tasks like setting up requests, responses, or authentication. No, the real test comes when we venture into coding within our custom connectors.See more here at Microsoft Docs: Write code in my custom connector. Moreover, there’s a…
Today I’m going to introduce you to a new feature of Azure OpenAI. I will explain how you can give more business context to your AI chat solution. Let’s say I can ask Azure OpenAI, “Do we have a discount agreement with the vendor XYZ?” and my AI gives me the right answer based on my contracts stored as files. Right, I will show you how easy I configure a Data Source for my Azure OpenAI. As result my AI…
Authorization is a must for APIs, there is no question about that! On the other hand, development and testing becomes more difficult. So I’d like to introduce you to the feature “Authorize” in Swagger UI that I recently discovered. I have to say, I’m impressed! As a developer, I often use Swagger UI to test my APIs, but I’ve always struggle when it comes to authentication. In the past, I couldn’t test my API in Swagger UI because authentication was…
Recently, a colleague reached out to me with a Power Automate Flow problem. I asked him, „What did you try?”. He answered to me: “I want to upload generated csv files to my AWS S3 Bucket.” I thought this shouldn’t be a problem. I know there is a standard connector in Power Platform for Amazon S3. But my colleague was right. There is a problem with this connector. Unfortunately, the Amazon S3 connector supports only listing and reading files from…
