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.
