Create a project in Azure AI Studio

  • Article

This article describes how to create a project in Azure AI Studio. A project is used to organize your work and save state while building customized AI apps.

Projects are hosted by an Azure AI Studio hub that provides enterprise-grade security and a collaborative environment. For more information about the projects and resources model, see Azure AI Studio hubs.

Create a project

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

  1. Go to the Home page of Azure AI Studio.

  2. Select + New project.

  3. Enter a name for the project.

  4. Select a hub from the dropdown to host your project. If you don't have access to a hub yet, select Create a new hub.

    Note

    To create a hub, you must have Owner or Contributor permissions on the selected resource group. It's recommended to share a hub with your team. This lets you share configurations like data connections with all projects, and centrally manage security settings and spend. For more options to create a hub, see how to create and manage an Azure AI Studio hub.

  5. If you're creating a new hub, enter a name.

  6. Select your Azure subscription from the Subscription dropdown. Choose a specific Azure subscription for your project for billing, access, or administrative reasons. For example, this grants users and service principals with subscription-level access to your project.

  7. Leave the Resource group as the default to create a new resource group. Alternatively, you can select an existing resource group from the dropdown.

    Tip

    Especially for getting started it's recommended to create a new resource group for your project. This allows you to easily manage the project and all of its resources together. When you create a project, several resources are created in the resource group, including a hub, a container registry, and a storage account.

  8. Enter the Location for the hub and then select Next. The location is the region where the hub is hosted. The location of the hub is also the location of the project. Azure AI services availability differs per region. For example, certain models might not be available in certain regions.

  9. Select an existing Azure AI services resource (including Azure OpenAI) from the dropdown or create a new one.

  11. Review the project details and then select Create a project. You see progress of resource creation and the project is created when the process is complete.

Once a project is created, you can access the playground, tools, and other assets in the left navigation panel.

Project settings

On the project Settings page you can find information about the project, such as the project name, description, and the hub that hosts the project. You can also find the project ID, which is used to identify the project via SDK or API.
