How to: Register Ai-powered Extensions in a Console Application

The following code snippet registers an Azure Open AI client and creates and extension service:

C#

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

// Configure Azure OpenAI endpoint and API key via environment variables.
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable(
    "AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT",
    "<YOUR_AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT>");
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable(
    "AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY",
    "<YOUR_AZURE_OPENAI_KEY>");
var modelName = "gpt-4o-mini";


// Register an Azure OpenAI client and obtain the
// default AI extensions container.
AIExtensionsContainerDefault defaultAIExtensionsContainer =
    RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(
        Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
        Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_APIKEY"));

// Create a document processing service instance
// from the AI extensions container.
var docProcessingService =
    defaultAIExtensionsContainer.CreateAIDocProcessingService();

// Helper method that creates and configures an Azure OpenAI chat client
// and wraps it in a default AI extensions container.
AIExtensionsContainerDefault RegisterAzureOpenAIClient(
    string azureOpenAIEndpoint,
    string azureOpenAIKey)
{
    IChatClient client =
        new Azure.AI.OpenAI.AzureOpenAIClient(
            new Uri(azureOpenAIEndpoint),
            new System.ClientModel.ApiKeyCredential(azureOpenAIKey))
        .GetChatClient(modelName)
        .AsIChatClient();

    return AIExtensionsContainerConsole.CreateDefaultAIExtensionContainer(client);
