Episode 38 - Insight to Impact: The Power of Azure OpenAI with Amit Mukherjee and Bhuvi Vatsey
Microsoft Community Insights PodcastShow Notes
The rapidly evolving field of generative AI can be intimidating, especially for those looking to implement enterprise-ready solutions. That's precisely the gap Amit sought to fill with his book "Azure OpenAI Essentials," co-authored with technical reviewers who ensured quality and accuracy throughout.
Amit, who has spent years helping healthcare organizations build scalable generative AI applications, explains that his motivation came from witnessing firsthand the understanding gaps among both customers and Microsoft's own technical field community. Rather than continuing with ad-hoc office hours and one-off explanations, he decided to create a comprehensive, structured resource that would guide readers from absolute basics to enterprise implementation. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Azure-OpenAI-Essentials-generative-AI-powered/dp/1805125060/ref=sr_1_1?crid=38OL3QSMWSH61&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Two8KJuL7o49WDLqLKnYMQ.GpWKMJUYmgTXpREOqvSsE8U0Gl_JHEQ5JnPskwnI47U&dib_tag=se&keywords=azure+openai+essentials&qid=1753463035&sprefix=azure+openai+essentials%2Caps%2C69&sr=8-1 Text Us About the Show
