  1. Navigate to Azure Portal Resources Go to the Azure Portal and navigate to the Azure OpenAI Service.
  2. Create an Azure OpenAI Deployment Click Create and complete the required fields in each section. Default values are generally sufficient. Note that the deployment may take a few minutes to finish.
  3. Create a Model Deployment
    • Go to the Azure OpenAI Service and select your new AI resource.
    • Navigate to the Model Catalog tab and select the model you want to use with Onyx. Click Use this model → Deploy to selected resource.
  4. Save Your Deployment Details and Credentials On your deployed model page, save the Target URI and API Key. Your Target URI contains the API Base, API Version, and Deployment Name needed to configure the provider in ASSIST AI.
If you encounter I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request in ASSIST AI chat responses, update the model deployment Content filter to Default instead of DefaultV2.
  1. Configure the Azure OpenAI Provider Select Azure OpenAI from the list of available providers. Assign a Display Name to this configuration. Paste your API Key into the API Key field. From your Target URI, extract the API Base, API Version, and Deployment Name. Example:
  2. https://assistaiazure.openai.azure.com/openai/deployments/gpt-4.1/chat/completions?api-version=2025-01-01-preview
  3. Configure Default Model and Provider Access
    • The Default Model is automatically selected for new custom Agents and Chat sessions - enter the model you deployed into this field.
    • Under Advanced Options, you can choose whether the provider is publicly accessible to all users in ASSIST AI. If set to private, the provider’s models will only be available to Admins and the User you explicitly assign the provider to.
