Six jobs. Six specialized models.
Azure AI Foundry pairs each business problem — search, images, video, claims, calls — with the model actually built for it.
What you'll learn
- Which Azure AI Foundry model fits which business problem — embeddings, image and video generation, vision, and speech.
- Why semantic search beats keyword search for real customer questions.
- How a multimodal model and speech models turn a photo or a phone call directly into structured, actionable data.

Can one model handle six different jobs?
No. Search, images, video, claims and calls each need a different kind of model.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does semantic search find a policy that shares no words with the question?
- Embedding models like Ada and Cohere convert both the question and the documents into vectors that represent meaning, not exact text. "Can I return shoes that got wet in the rain?" and "items damaged by weather are refunded in full" share zero keywords but sit near each other in vector space, so the match still surfaces — a keyword search would return nothing.
- Can one Azure AI Foundry project really cover search, images, video, claims, and support calls?
- Yes. Embeddings, GPT-image-1, Sora 2, GPT-4.1, and the GPT-4o transcribe/tts pair are all separate task-built models sitting in the same catalog under the same project, so one team's Foundry setup can back retail search, marketing creative, claims triage, and voice support without standing up separate infrastructure for each.

These are built for a phone
Every short is drawn at full portrait height, the shape a phone already is. Installed, it opens full-bleed with no address bar across the top — and the whole library reads offline.
