You will need an Azure OpenAI API Service subscription. If you don't have one, visit the Azure OpenAI Service product page and scroll to the section "How do I access Azure OpenAI Service?" near the bottom of the page.

If you have access to the OpenAI API Service, you can easily modify the script to use it.
