Azure Open AI Studio:

Question

After developing in the Azure Open AI Studio Playground a “chat app”, I can open it in the browser as a chat window. Now I would love to share it with test customers to get feedback – but somehow other people or devices always have to log in to Microsoft or my account.

Questions:

• how is it possible to share the application with other people?
• Is it possible to manage the access like: open to everyone, without logging in to Microsoft?
• Do you have additional ideas on how to share my test chat with test customers to gather feedback
• Thank you for your help. Best David.

@David Geier Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!

I understand that you are looking to share an application developed in Azure Open AI Studio with test customers to gather feedback. However, you are facing issues with other people or devices having to log in to Microsoft or their account to access the application.

Below are the answers to your questions inline:

• How is it possible to share the application with other people?

Answer: Yes it is possible. You can try clicking on the Deploy to option available in the Azure Open AI Chat Playground.

This will help you to create an Azure Webapp within your subscription. The first time you deploy a web app, you should select Create a new web app. Choose a name for the app, which will become part of the app URL. For example, https://<appname>.azurewebsites.net.

Select your subscription, resource group, location, and pricing plan for the published app. To update an existing app, select Publish to an existing web app and choose the name of your previous app from the dropdown menu.

Once it is created you need to navigate to that newly created app service endpoint and access the url. The same is explained here.

• Is it possible to manage the access like: open to everyone, without logging in to Microsoft?

Answer: Yes, the above plan should help.

• Do you have additional ideas on how to share my test chat with test customers to gather feedback?
  Answer: If you face any issues with the above approach, there is an alternative too.
  Please leverage this sample chat copilot application provided by Microsoft.

You can follow the steps mentioned there to configure and set up the chat application. Once it is deployed, your end customers can access this chat app directly.

To update this sample, you would need the AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT and API_KEY . You will get these details if you click on the View Code button in the Azure Open AI Chat playground as shown below:

Hope this helps. If you have any follow-up questions, please let me know. I would be happy to help.
