+# Introduction
+This repository contains samples demonstrating how to use functions to extend the current capabilities of GPT Models
+
+## Installation
+Install all Python modules and packages listed in the requirements.txt file using the below command.
+
+```python
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Microsoft Azure Endpoints
+In order to use the Open AI library or REST API with Microsoft Azure endpoints, you need to set DEPLOYMENT_NAME, OPENAI_API_BASE & OPENAI_API_VERSION in _config.json_ file. 
+
+```js
+{
+    "DEPLOYMENT_ID":"<Model Deployment Name>",
+    "OPENAI_API_BASE":"https://<Your Azure Resource Name>.openai.azure.com",
+    "OPENAI_API_VERSION":"<OpenAI API Version>"
+}
+``` 
+
+### For getting started:
+- Add "OPENAI_API_KEY" as variable name and \<Your API Key Value\> as variable value in the environment variables.
+<br>
+One can get the OPENAI_API_KEY value from the Azure Portal. Go to https://portal.azure.com, find your resource and then under "Resource Management" -> "Keys and Endpoints" look for one of the "Keys" values.
+ <br>
+      
+      WINDOWS Users: 
+         setx OPENAI_API_KEY "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY_VALUE_HERE"
+
+      MACOS/LINUX Users: 
+         export OPENAI_API_KEY="REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_KEY_VALUE_HERE"
+
+- To find your "DEPLOYMENT_ID" go to the deployments page of the Azure AI Studio. Create a deployment if one does not already exist.
+One can start with using your model name as "gpt-35-turbo-0613" or "gpt-4."
+
+- To find your "OPENAI_API_BASE" go to https://portal.azure.com, find your resource and then under "Resource Management" -> "Keys and Endpoints" look for the "Endpoint" value.
+- Current OpenAI api version is "2022-12-01". Check out versions [here](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/openai/reference).
