Businesses can develop unique chatbots, copilots, internal applications, or customer-facing portals that are grounded in up-to-date enterprise data and context, simplifying workflows without requiring additional coding.
Through Azure AI Foundry’s “Chat Playground” feature, developers can quickly test how their enterprise data and selected LLM function together before taking it to production, MongoDB said.
