  • 04/11/2025

After the deployment is added successfully, you can query the deployment for intent and entities predictions from your utterance based on the model you assigned to the deployment. You can query the deployment programmatically Prediction API or through the Client libraries (Azure SDK).

Test deployed model

You can use Language Studio to submit an utterance, get predictions and visualize the results.

To test your model from Language Studio

  1. Select Testing deployments from the left side menu.

  2. Select the model you want to test. You can only test models that are assigned to deployments.

  3. From deployment name dropdown, select your deployment name.

  4. In the text box, enter an utterance to test.

  5. From the top menu, select Run the test.

  6. After you run the test, you should see the response of the model in the result. You can view the results in entities cards view, or view it in JSON format.

Send an orchestration workflow request

First you will need to get your resource key and endpoint:

Go to your resource overview page in the Azure portal. From the menu on the left side, select Keys and Endpoint. You will use the endpoint and key for API requests.
