About this chapter

What this chapter covers

Implement Text Analysis Solutions is 10 to 15% of the AI-103 exam. It has two skill groups: applying language model text analysis, and implementing speech solutions.

AI-103 expects you to choose between two ways of analyzing language: prompting a language model, or calling a prebuilt Foundry Tool such as Azure Language, Azure Translator or Azure Speech. Speech is treated as another way for users to talk to agents.

How the topics fit together

Text or speech inputSpeech to textif spokenAnalyzeentities, sentiment, PIITranslateif neededRespondtext or speech

Spoken input is transcribed, text is analyzed or translated, and the agent answers in text or synthesized speech.

Exam tip

A prebuilt tool is usually the answer when the task is narrow and standard, such as PII redaction. A language model is the answer when the output is custom, such as a domain-specific summary in a given JSON shape.
