Can I add other data as context for a RAG call?

I am looking to essentially add extra context to my RAG call -

1 - Use AI Search to retrieve most relevant chunks/embeddings

2 - Use metadata from those to query my database and related items for extra context

3 - Combine both to provide the context to the chat-completions endpoint

Everywhere seems to say to just use a datasource of AI search but doesn't allow for data manipulation/additional context.

    You can, but you're getting outside of the realms of what the nice UI-based point-and-click solutions can support, and you're going to need to start writing some code to be able to do this. I would recommend looking at the following libraries that are designed to build this sort of thing:

    You could also look at Microsoft Copilot Studio, which allows you to build connectors to various sources and bring them together.
