Azure Copilot and AI | Trilogix Cloud

Component	Role	Why It’s Needed
Copilot / Client Application	The user-facing interface where a query or request is initiated.	This is the starting point of the user’s interaction.
Azure API Management (APIM)	Acts as a secure gateway for all API calls. It handles authentication, rate limiting, and request routing.	It provides a secure, unified entry point and manages the API lifecycle.
Azure Function	A serverless compute service that executes the business logic for the request. It orchestrates calls to other services.	It performs the specific task requested by the user, such as a search or data retrieval.
Vector Database / Data Source	Stores and manages the raw data and its vector embeddings, enabling semantic search to find relevant information.	It allows the Copilot to understand the user’s intent and find highly relevant data, even if it doesn’t match a keyword.
Other Services	External or internal systems (e.g., CRM, ERP) that provide live, real-time data or specific functionalities.	They ensure the Copilot has access to the most current information and can perform dynamic tasks beyond a simple search.
