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.
