Remarks

The following example registers an Azure OpenAI client to use the AI-powered extension to explain the excelFormula:

using Azure;
using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
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 excelFormula = "=F30*H30";
var response = await defaultAIExtensionsContainer.ExplainFormulaAsync(
    new ExplainFormulaRequest(excelFormula)
);

Console.WriteLine(response);

/* Output:
 * This Excel formula multiplies the value in cell F30 by the value in cell H30.
 * For example, if cell F30 contains the number 5 and cell H30 contains the number 10,
 * the formula will calculate 5 times 10, giving the result of 50.
 */

AIExtensionsContainerDefault RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(string azureOpenAIEndpoint, string azureOpenAIKey) {
    IChatClient client = new AzureOpenAIClient(
        new Uri(azureOpenAIEndpoint),
        new AzureKeyCredential(azureOpenAIKey))
            .AsChatClient("gpt-4o-mini");
    return AIExtensionsContainerConsole.CreateDefaultAIExtensionContainer(client);
}

void SetEnvironmentVariables() {
    Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT", {SPECIFY_YOUR_AZURE_ENDPOINT});
    Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY", {SPECIFY_YOU_AZURE_KEY});
