The Search Extract Output Node uses an embedding model to search Knowledge Stores and a generative AI model to extract relevant information and generate outputs. For example, you can upload manuals and technical documents as Knowledge Sources to create an AI Agent that helps customers with technical issues.
Prerequisites
- For the Search only mode, you need access to an embedding model that supports Knowledge Search.
- For the Search & Extract & Output and Search & Extract modes, you need access to both an embedding model and a generative AI model to support Knowledge Search and Answer Extraction.
Modes
The Search Extract Output Node has the following modes:- Search & Extract & Output — With this mode, the AI Agent searches Knowledge Sources, extracts answers, and outputs the results automatically as text or adaptive card.
- Search & Extract — With this mode, the AI Agent searches Knowledge Sources and extracts answers. You have the flexibility to use these answers in other Nodes or Extension Nodes.
- Search only — With this mode, the AI Agent searches Knowledge Sources. You have the flexibility to use the information found.
