Run the Samples

Create an Agent

1. Navigate to the folder: cd Samples/Create-Agent
2. Install dependencies:
   • pip install azure-ai-projects --pre
   • pip install openai azure-identity python-dotenv
3. Use the Azure CLI command az login or az login --use-device-code to authenticate.
4. Set up environment variables: copy .env.example .env

Chat with an Agent

Note

Running the create-agent.py file is a prerequisite for the chat-with-agent.py file since the agent's name from the create-agent.py file is referenced in the chat-with-agent.py file. However, if you have an existing agent that you'd like to use instead, replace the value for the AZURE_AI_FOUNDRY_AGENT_NAME environment variable with your agent's name.

1. Navigate to the folder: cd Samples/Create-Agent

   • pip install azure-ai-projects --pre
   • pip install openai azure-identity python-dotenv
3. Use the Azure CLI command az login or az login --use-device-code to authenticate.
