How do you deploy Azure AI assistant playground

Question

I built an Azure AI assistant playground in the AI studio (not the OpenAI studio) and I now want to deploy it so my coworker can help me test it. The assistant is a RAG.

I cannot find any documentation on how to do so. Any help would be welcome.

Hi TC,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

To deploy your Azure AI assistant playground as a web app so your coworker can test it, follow these steps:

1. Go to your project in Azure AI Studio.
2. Select Playgrounds --> Chat from the left pane.
3. Select your deployed RAG model from the Deployment dropdown.
4. Add your data to the playground by selecting Add your data --> + Add a new data source. Follow the prompts to upload your data files and configure the azure cognitive search index.
5. Once your data is added, select Deploy to a web app on the toolbar.
6. On the Deploy to a web app page, enter a unique name for your web app, select your Azure subscription and resource group, choose a location and pricing plan, and decide if you want to enable chat history. Then click Deploy.
7. Wait for the app to deploy, which may take a few minutes. When ready, the Launch button will be enabled on the toolbar.
8. Click Launch to open your deployed web app. Copy the URL and share it with your coworker to test the assistant.

Make sure you have a RAG model deployed in your azure ai studio project before attempting to deploy the web app. The web app will use the configured RAG model and data to power the assistant experience.

Thank you Vinodh247 for the detail response. I am sorry I was not clear, but I have an Assistant, NOT a Chat. I do not see the Deploy button for the Assistant.
