Discover the journey of building a generative AI application using LangChain.js and Azure.
This demo explores the development process from idea to production, using a RAG-based approach for a Q&A system based on YouTube video transcripts.

## Overview

This application allows to ask text-based questions about a YouTube video, and uses the transcript of the video to generate responses.

The code comes in two versions:
- [local prototype](src/local.js): uses FAISS and Ollama with LLaMa3 model for completion and all-minilm-l6-v2 for embeddings
- [Azure cloud version](src/azure.js): uses Azure AI Search and GPT-4 Turbo model for completion and text-embedding-3-large for embeddings

Either version can be run as an API using the [Azure Functions](https://azure.microsoft.com/services/functions) runtime.

> [!NOTE]
> This sample uses the new HTTP streaming support in Azure Functions that's currently in preview. You can find more information about this feature in the [blog post announcement](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/apps-on-azure-blog/azure-functions-support-for-http-streams-in-node-js-is-now-in/ba-p/4066575).

## Installation

You need [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) and [Ollama](https://ollama.com/download) installed to run this demo.

After you complete the installation, the next step is to clone this repository on your machine:

1. [**Fork**](https://github.com/Azure-Samples/langchainjs-quickstart-demo/fork) the project to create your own copy of this repository.
2. On your forked repository, select the **Code** button, then the **Local** tab, and copy the URL of your forked repository.
    <div align="center">
      <img src="./docs/images/clone-url.png" alt="Screenshot showing how to copy the repository URL" width="400px" />
    </div>
3. Open a terminal and run this command to clone the repo: `git clone <your-repo-url>`

Then open a terminal inside the project directory and run the following commands:

```bash
npm install
ollama pull llama3
ollama pull nomic-embed-text
```

This will install the required dependencies and download the models needed for the demo.

## Run the demo

This demo comes in three versions: a local prototype, an Azure cloud version, and an API version using Azure Functions. The fastest way to get started is to run the local prototype.

### Local prototype

```bash
npm run start:local
```

### Azure version

To run the Azure version, you need to have an Azure account and a subscription enabled for Azure OpenAI usage. If you don't have an Azure account, you can create a [free account](https://azure.microsoft.com/free/) to get started.

For Azure OpenAI, you can [request access with this form](https://aka.ms/oaiapply).

#### Create the Azure resources

First you need to create an Azure OpenAI instance. You can deploy a version on Azure Portal following [this guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/how-to/create-resource?pivots=web-portal).

In Azure AI Studio, you'll need to deploy these two models:
- `text-embedding-3-large` with a deployment name of `text-embedding-3-large`
- `gpt-4` version `0125-preview` (aka GPT-4 Turbo) with a deployment name of `gpt-4-turbo`

> [!IMPORTANT]
> GPT-4 Turbo is currently in preview and may not be available in all regions, see [this table](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/models#gpt-4-and-gpt-4-turbo-preview-models) for region availability.

You'll also need to have an Azure AI Search instance running. You can deploy a free version on Azure Portal without any cost, following [this guide](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/search/search-create-service-portal).

#### Set up the environment

You need to create a `.env` file with the following content:

```bash
AZURE_AISEARCH_ENDPOINT=https://<your-service-name>.search.windows.net
AZURE_AISEARCH_KEY=<your-aisearch-key>
AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY=<your-openai-key>
AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT=<your-openai-endpoint>
AZURE_OPENAI_API_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4-turbo"
AZURE_OPENAI_API_EMBEDDINGS_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="text-embedding-3-large"
AZURE_OPENAI_API_VERSION="2024-02-01"
```

Then you can run:

```bash
npm run start:azure
```

### API version

```bash
npm start
```

Once the server is running, you can test the API in another terminal:

```bash
curl -N http://localhost:7071/api/ask \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ "question": "Will GPT-4 Turbo be available on Azure?" }' 
```

By default, the API runs the local version. To run the Azure version, you need to set the `USE_AZURE` environment variable to `true`:

```bash
USE_AZURE=true npm start
```
