Citations with Azure AI Search

Posted on by wswitzer

Hello!

I'm working with Azure AI Search in Copilot and wanting to add citations. I see it returns [Doc1][Doc2], etc. and I can also pass through metadata from sharepoint through into copilot and am planning to do a Substitute to replace the placeholders with the link, using an adaptive card. I'm using a REST API to connect to the Search Index. I'm wondering if there's a built-in way through hooking upt through the generative answer node so I don't have to go through all these hoops. I also need the citation links to work in MS Teams. Thanks for any insight!

Hi @wswitzer

AFAIK, it is not possible to call REST API using Generative AI available in Copilot Studio.

You can build a custom connector in Power Platform using this REST API and then use it as a Plugin in Copilot studio.

Hope it helps..

Hey, we currently have been using the following REST API via an HTTP Request node in Copilot Studio with Azure AI Search: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-ca/azure/ai-services/openai/reference#completions-extensions

I likely will setup a Azure AI Studio project to connect an AI Search Index to the generative answers node and integrate the Citations as an Adaptive Card.
