You can try out AI services for free in Azure AI Studio as described in the getting started with AI services article. This article describes how to use AI services connections to do more via Azure AI Studio, SDKs, and APIs.

After you create a hub with AI services, you can use the AI services connection via the AI Studio UI, APIs, and SDKs. For example, you can try out AI services via Home > AI Services in the AI Studio UI as shown here.

Create a hub

You need a hub to connect to AI services in Azure AI Studio. When you create a hub, a connection to AI services is automatically created.

To create a hub in Azure AI Studio, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Home page in Azure AI studio and sign in with your Azure account.

  2. Select All hubs from the left pane and then select + New hub.

You can use the AI services connection via the AI Studio UI, APIs, and SDKs.

Use the AI services connection in the AI Studio UI

No further configuration is needed to use the AI services connection in the AI Studio UI. You can try out AI services via Home > AI Services in the AI Studio UI.

Here are examples of more ways to use AI services in the AI Studio UI.

Use the AI services connection in APIs and SDKs

You can use the AI services connection via the APIs and SDKs for a subset of AI services: Azure OpenAI, Speech, Language, Translator, Vision, Document Intelligence, and Content Safety.

To use the AI services connection via the APIs and SDKs, you need to get the key and endpoint for the connection.

  1. From the Home page in AI Studio, select All hubs from the left pane. Then select the hub you created.

  2. Select the AI Services connection from the Hub overview page.

  3. You can find the key and endpoint for the AI services connection on the Connection details page.

The AI services key and endpoint are used to authenticate and connect to AI services via the APIs and SDKs.

For more information about AI services APIs and SDKs, see the Azure AI services SDK reference documentation and Azure AI services REST API reference documentation.
