  import os
  from typing import Iterator

  from phi.agent import Agent, RunResponse
  from phi.model.azure import AzureOpenAIChat

  azure_model = AzureOpenAIChat(
      id=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME"),
      api_key=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY"),
      azure_endpoint=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT"),
      azure_deployment=os.getenv("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT"),
  )

  agent = Agent(
      model=azure_model,
      markdown=True
  )

  # Get the response in a variable
  # run: RunResponse = agent.run("Share a 2 sentence horror story.")
