Creating an AIAgent instance for various providers

These samples show how to create an AIAgent instance using various providers. This is not an exhaustive list, but shows a variety of the more popular options.

For other samples that demonstrate how to use AIAgent instances, see the Getting Started With Agents samples.

Prerequisites

See the README.md for each sample for the prerequisites for that sample.

Samples

Sample	Description

Running the samples from the console

To run the samples, navigate to the desired sample directory, e.g.

cd AIAgent_With_AzureOpenAIChatCompletion

Set the required environment variables as documented in the sample readme. If the variables are not set, you will be prompted for the values when running the samples. Execute the following command to build the sample:

dotnet build

Execute the following command to run the sample:

dotnet run --no-build

Or just build and run in one step:

dotnet run

Running the samples from Visual Studio

Open the solution in Visual Studio and set the desired sample project as the startup project. Then, run the project using the built-in debugger or by pressing F5.

You will be prompted for any required environment variables if they are not already set.
