Exam AI-103 Topic 1 Question 6 Discussion

The correct built-in skills are Azure OpenAI Embedding and Text Split. The case study requires an indexing pipeline that enables semantic and vector search over the product sheets stored in Azure Blob Storage, so Agent1 can retrieve relevant product information for natural language customer questions. For a RAG pipeline, long PDF content must first be broken into retrievable chunks, and each chunk must then be vectorized for semantic similarity retrieval.
Microsoft's Azure AI Search integrated vectorization guidance states that you create a skillset that calls the Text Split skill for chunking and the Azure OpenAI Embedding skill to vectorize the chunks. The Text Split skill breaks text into chunks and provides positional metadata, making it suitable when downstream embedding skills have input-length limits. The Azure OpenAI Embedding skill connects to an embedding model deployed in Azure OpenAI or a Microsoft Foundry project and generates embeddings during indexing.
Language Detection, Entity Recognition, and key phrase extraction can enrich text, but they do not create vector embeddings. Merge is useful for combining OCR text with document text, but it does not satisfy the core vector-search requirement.
