This samples uses Azure OpenAI by default so you need to set the following environment variable

$env:AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT = "https://<your deployment>.openai.azure.com/"

If you want to use OpenAI

1. Edit Program.cs and change the following lines:

   AIAgent agent = new AzureOpenAIClient(
     new Uri(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")!),
     new AzureCliCredential())
      .GetChatClient("gpt-4o-mini")
      .CreateAIAgent(
        instructions: "You are a helpful assistant, you can help the user with weather information.",
        tools: [AIFunctionFactory.Create(GetWeather)]);

   To this:

   AIAgent agent = new OpenAIClient(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY")!)
     .GetChatClient("gpt-4o-mini")
     .CreateAIAgent(
       instructions: "You are a helpful assistant, you can help the user with weather information.",
       tools: [AIFunctionFactory.Create(GetWeather)]);

2. Create an environment variable with your OpenAI key

   $env:OPENAI_API_KEY = "sk-..."

cd demos\MinimalConsole
dotnet build

dotnet run --framework net9.0 --no-build

Sample output:

The weather in Amsterdam is currently cloudy, with a high temperature of 15°C.
