By leveraging AI, the search delivers more accurate results by analysing the context and underlying concepts of the content, rather than relying solely on keyword matching. This functionality is particularly useful for the virtual agents functionality, as it allows AI agents to provide responses to users based on content from knowledge base articles. In this guide we will cover how to set up AI search and how it can be used.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>In order to use AI search functionality you will need to connect to a <a data-fr-linked="true" href="https://usehalo.com/haloitsm/guides/2673" id="isPasted" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">vector search database</a> hosted by Azure AI Search or AWS OpenSearch.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Prerequisites</strong></p><ul><li>Your default AI connection must be Own Azure OpenAI connection</li><li>Or, you must have an AWS OpenSearch tenant&nbsp;</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Connecting AI models for AI search</span></strong></p><p>You will only need to follow the sections relevant to the AI model you are using to support the AI search functionality.</p><p><br></p><p><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Connecting to Azure OpenAI</strong></span></p><p>It is important to make sure your Azure tenant is setup to support the Azure AI area, it may be disabled. If this is the case, please contact Microsoft to get Azure AI enabled for your tenant. There are multiple models which you can deploy in the Azure AI area, so the possibilities are extensive when configuring your own models <strong>(<a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/openai/concepts/models" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">AI Models</a>)</strong>.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>For the setup of an Azure

When active, all filters are cancelled and search as you type is disabled, and the search becomes text only. An embedding is created for the search term, and an AI similarity search is run in Azure AI Search. The match score is also shown in the results.</p><p><br></p><p><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6IjNiNWJlNThhLWRlNGEtNGI0Ny04YjhiLTA2NDk2YjEwMTA5NyJ9.rHvhAaiBbOd6VaoOaBvcxnMEu7ek4Deuzzmfxt_3Q0w" width="1198" class="fr-fic fr-dii" style="width: 1200px; height: 260.279px;" height="260"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 12.
