Hi brics,

Greetings & Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum! Thank you for sharing your query.  

Yes, we can achieve this by providing specific instructions to your model.

In the Azure AI Foundry portal, follow these steps:

• Go to your Playground where your model is deployed.
• Navigate to the Give the model instructions and context.

Add the following instruction:

"If the user says 'Hi' for the first time, respond with: 'Hello, my name is Agent, and I'm a virtual assistant. I'm here to help you with your queries. How can I assist you today?' Ignore subsequent 'Hi' messages and respond naturally."
As per our instruction the model will provide.

This ensures that the introduction message is only displayed once per conversation.
Here is a screenshot for reference:

If you want the model to avoid including references in its responses, you can add in the instructions as Do not include references, citations, or links in your responses.

This ensures that the introduction message is only displayed once per conversation and prevents the model from including references in its responses.

I hope this information helps. Thank you

Hi @Pavankumar Purilla ,

Thanks for your answers ,

1. I don’t want the introduction to be triggered by the user’s greeting. I want the introduction to be the first message that appears automatically, similar to how it works in Copilot Studio.
2. for the references, i am talking about these one

Hi @Pavankumar Purilla, do you mean I need to start from scratch?

I’ve deployed the project on a web app from AI Foundry. Is there a way to directly customize the code of the web app? It’s not visible in my VS Code or in the Azure resources. And what's about the reference ??
