Event Moment: Microsoft’s Dewain Robinson Explains How to Optimize Results with Query Writing

In this moment, excerpted from the session “Copilot Studio Best Practices and Use Cases,” Dewain Robinson, Principal Program Manager, Microsoft, breaks down what query writing is, its key functions, and how users can rewrite queries for optimized results.

Key Takeaways

• Defined: Query writing is the concept of asking questions and follow-up questions. It’s bringing context into the conversation.
• Function: All RAG patterns will write queries and be able to figure out how to optimize a query for the data source it’s trying to search. Ultimately, there’s search and summarizing, but query writing is a key component of this.
• Rewriting: There’s an advanced function in Copilot Studio to write your own query. Users can rewrite queries to improve the search results of the product catalog.
