SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Foundry IQ eliminates slow, non-grounded answers by building an enterprise RAG knowledge layer that can retrieve policy-backed evidence with citations, including multi-hop reasoning for complex questions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Azure AI Search Knowledge Agent setup: Creates and configures Knowledge Agents with controllable reasoning effort and output modes.
  • Vector + semantic document grounding: Indexes documents with smart chunking and supports citation-backed retrieval for QA.
  • Agentic retrieval for multi-hop questions: Decomposes complex questions into sub-queries and synthesizes answers grounded in retrieved sources.
  • Use case: When HR asks, “Can I work remotely from another country while using PTO?”, it retrieves relevant policy sections across documents and returns an answer annotated with the supporting citations.

Quick Start

Use the foundry-iq skill to set up an Azure AI Search index and Knowledge Agent as the default retrieval pattern for a threadlight process, then answer user questions grounded in your knowledge base with citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about foundry-iq

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I build cited agentic RAG for enterprise policy documents?▼

Build cited agentic RAG by configuring Azure AI Search Knowledge Agents to ingest policy documents via chunking, apply vector indexing, and return citation-backed answers. This grounds responses in your knowledge base with end-to-end citation tracking.

What is multi-hop agentic retrieval for complex questions?▼

Multi-hop agentic retrieval decomposes complex user questions into sub-queries, retrieves relevant policy sections across single or multiple indexes, and synthesizes a single answer annotated with supporting citations.

How do I configure retrieval reasoning effort in Azure AI Search Knowledge Agents?▼

Configure retrieval reasoning effort during Knowledge Agent setup to control the depth of multi-hop agentic retrieval. You can adjust the configurable retrievalReasoningEffort and output modality to match your policy QA requirements.

Can I use vector indexing and semantic search for knowledge base assistants?▼

Yes, you can create and manage search indexes with vector search to ground document retrieval for knowledge base assistants. Smart chunking and semantic search enable citation-backed retrieval for multi-turn agentic QA.

Does Foundry IQ support multi-turn agentic retrieval across multiple indexes?▼

Yes, Foundry IQ supports multi-turn agentic retrieval across single or multiple indexes. It tracks citations end-to-end while answering user questions grounded in retrieved evidence from your document corpus.
