About this chapter
What this chapter covers
Implement Information Extraction Solutions is 10 to 15% of the AI-103 exam. It has two skill groups: building retrieval and grounding pipelines, and extracting content from documents.
This domain is about getting knowledge out of files so that apps and agents can use it: indexing content in Azure AI Search, enriching it with skills, and turning documents into clean, structured content with Azure Content Understanding.
How the topics fit together
Content is extracted and cleaned, split into chunks, enriched and embedded, then indexed. Apps and agents query the index to ground their answers.
Good RAG answers start with good extraction. If answers miss facts that are in a document, check the extraction and chunking before blaming the model.
How to use these pages
Each topic page has the same shape, so you can skim for what you need.
- What it is: the idea in plain words.
