Generative answers node doesn't provide answers using Azure OpenAI Connection

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 17

I have a azure cognitive search index that my GPT35Turbo model is grounded on, the model provides answers based on the grounded data in Azure OpenAI Playground. But when I deploy this to a PVA in (East US Region), the PVA chat bot doesn't provide any answers from the generative answers node. 

 

Checked the connection properties and data source parameters, everything looks okay. Am I missing anything?

    I ran into numerous issues in trying to accomplish this solution the way it is today, with quite a few improvisations to fit my requirements, but the posts below gave me a solid start.

     

    Deploy your ChatGPT based model securely using Microsoft Teams, Power Virtual Agent and Azure OpenAI

    Revolutionize your Enterprise Data with ChatGPT: Next-gen Apps w/ Azure OpenAI and Cognitive Search - Microsoft Community Hub

    @HenryJammes did the trick.

     

    Hope this helps!

    @skandula1406 Any tutorial on how you did the cognitive search and feed it to OpenAI model? Spent the whole day trying to find a solution, looks like I have go with the Flow too.

    yeah. keyword search and semantic search neither worked. Tried both GPT-4 and GPT35-Turbo too.

    Have tried both simple and semantic search, neither worked 😞

    While this gets resolved, I’ve deployed the chatbot using flows. 

    Here are the high level steps-

    1. send user query as input to flow

    2. query cognitive search index (Http - Post or Get)

    3. feed the results of the query from step 2 to Azure OpenAI instance along with the system message.

    4. capture response from OpenAI GPT model and send it back to PVA.

     

    I would’ve preferred conversation boosting to leverage open conversation without having to direct the user to pre-defined topics, but this solution works well for now.

    No luck yet, MSFT support has been looking into it for over a week now. Will update here once I hear something.

    Same thing is happening to me. Did you find a way to make it work? Thanks!

    It's worth also verifying that your index isn't configured for vector or semantic search while PVA is configured for basic search.

    Hi @skandula1406 


    Nothing comes to mind when looking at your configuration.

    Can you open a support request so this can be investigated in more details?
