using Microsoft.Extensions.AI;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration;
using DevExpress.AIIntegration.Extensions;

SetEnvironmentVariables();

// Register an Azure OpenAI client
AIExtensionsContainerDefault defaultAIExtensionsContainer = RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY")
);

string imageBase64 = "iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABhgAAAF+CAMAAABHxuB6AAAABGdBTUEAALGPC...";
var response = await defaultAIExtensionsContainer.GenerateImageDescriptionAsync(
    new GenerateImageDescriptionRequest(imageBase64)
);

Console.WriteLine(response);

/* Output:

 */

AIExtensionsContainerDefault RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(string azureOpenAIEndpoint, string azureOpenAIKey) {
    IChatClient client = new Azure.AI.OpenAI.AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(azureOpenAIEndpoint),
        new System.ClientModel.ApiKeyCredential(azureOpenAIKey)).GetChatClient("gpt-4o-mini").AsIChatClient();

    return AIExtensionsContainerConsole.CreateDefaultAIExtensionContainer(client);
