Description
Document how to provide support for other RAG strategies and repos using Agents and plugins. Simple Chat has a strategy that supports the 80/20 rule, we wanted to be great at 80% of the use cases https://github.com/microsoft/simplechat/issues/98, there are use cases where a more granular chunking strategy makes sense, Agents will provide the method to interact with an external AI Search index that implements that strategy or any database that supports vectors and search. Existing plugins like openapi may be helpful but also specific plugs for ai search or a targeted database technology may be helpful or using an Azure AI agent that has tool calls.
Other ways we are looking to help here are implementing support for MCP and developing an MCP server for Simple Chat following our React + FastAPI refactor later this summer.
