+### Integrated Vectorization
+The Chat with your data accelerator supports Integrated Vectorization, an Azure AI Search feature that pulls, processes and indexes data directly from Azure storage. This greatly simplifies the code that needs to be maintained by developers deploying the accelerator since the chunking, vectorization and indexing of data is handled by Azure AI's built-in pull-indexers. Learn more about deploying with Integrated Vectorization [here](./docs/INTEGRATED_VECTORIZATION.md).

 ### Speech-to-text functionality
 Many users are used to the convenience of speech-to-text functionality in their consumer products. With hybrid work increasing, speech-to-text supports a more flexible way for users to chat with their data, whether they’re at their computer or on the go with their mobile device. The speech-to-text capability is combined with NLP capabilities to extract intent and context from spoken language, allowing the chatbot to understand and respond to user requests more intelligently.

+## User Story
+This feature allows chunking and vectorization of data during ingestion into Azure AI Search through built-in pull-indexers. It supports automatic processing of data directly from storage - meaning the user can just upload their data to Azure Blob Storage and the built-in pull-indexers will do the chunking, vectorization and indexing. This removes the need for Chat With Your Data to explicitly perform chunking, vectorization and pushing to the search index.
+
+## Local Deployment Instructions
+In addition to the standard local deployment instructions, do the following to enable Integrated Vectorization:
+
+* Run `azd env set AZURE_SEARCH_USE_INTEGRATED_VECTORIZATION true` before running `azd up`.
