    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY")
);

string searchQuery = "furniture";
var response = await defaultAIExtensionsContainer.SmartSearchAsync(
    new SmartSearchRequest(searchQuery, new List<SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo>() {
        new SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo("item1", "chair"),
        new SmartSearchRequest.ItemInfo("item2", "sofa"),
