# CrestApps.Core Azure OpenAI - Prompt Templates

## Add Azure OpenAI Support

You are a CrestApps.Core expert. Generate code and configuration for Azure OpenAI with CrestApps.Core.

### Guidelines

- Use Azure OpenAI for enterprise production needs such as regional control and managed identity scenarios.
- Register Azure OpenAI only when the host actually uses it.
- Keep the Azure endpoint and credentials on the connection.
- Keep deployment names and model intent on the deployment entry.

### Builder Registration

```csharp
builder.Services.AddCrestAppsCore(crestApps => crestApps
    .AddAISuite(ai => ai
        .AddAzureOpenAI()
    )
);
```

### Raw Registration

```csharp
builder.Services
    .AddCoreAIServices()
    .AddCoreAIAzureOpenAI();
```

  "CrestApps": {
