Im not surprised Azure would add something like this to the stack. We build AnythingLLM (https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm) back in June due to some enterprise customers wanting something isolated they could run on premises with Azure OpenAI support + any vector DB they want.

With Azure's move to try to internalize any enterprise integration for AI it makes sense to make a chatbot wrapper because its a no-moat move. I think a lot of the "moat" if one can exist in the "chat with your docs" vertical is just integrations into flows and data sources SMB/Enterprises are already using.

For businesses, in my experience, the on-prem thing has been the first decision point - without question. Azure wrapper could be nice to have for those who cannot use chatGPT on the work comp but have access to this instead.

I wonder what kind of hypervisor view it gives to Azure admins for those who use it - it any. Multi-tenant instances was the second highest demand from SMB/Enterprise customers for AnythingLLM.
