Connect to Azure OpenAI

GPT for Excel and Word can connect to Azure AI to use OpenAI models.

Prerequisites

• You are the owner or an admin of the space.

• You have an Azure subscription with Azure AI service access.

• You have deployed a model in an Azure OpenAI resource.

Get your Azure OpenAI endpoint details

To connect to Azure AI from GPT for Excel and Word, you need the endpoint URL, name, and API key for the Azure OpenAI model you want to use.

1. Sign in to Azure AI Foundry.

2. Select the Azure OpenAI resource that has the model you want to use.

3. In the sidebar, select My assets > Models + endpoints.

   

4. In Model deployments, in the models list, click the name of the model you want to use.

   

5. In the model details, copy the Target URI, Key, and Model name.

   

Set up the Azure OpenAI endpoint

1. Sign in to the GPT for Work dashboard with your Microsoft account.

2. In the sidebar, select API endpoints.

3. Click Azure OpenAI endpoints.

4. Define the endpoint settings:

   • Endpoint URL: Enter the endpoint URL for the model.

   • Model name: Enter the model name.

   • API key: Enter the API key for accessing the endpoint.
