Integrate AI services

AI service basics

PREREQUISITES: Integration with Azure OpenAI Service requires Sitefinity CMS 15.0.8229 or later. The integration does not work with previous versions of Sitefinity CMS 15.0.

Sitefinity CMS offers integration with AI service provided by Microsoft Azure. This is the Azure OpenAI service, which requires a Microsoft Azure account. The service allows content creators to use Microsoft’s Azure OpenAI services in content blocks to:

  • Compose new text (MVC and .NET)
  • Summarize text (MVC and .NET)
  • Improve writing (MVC and .NET)
  • Personalize text (.NET only)

For more information, see Generate AI content.

PREREQUISITES: Subscription to Microsoft Azure OpenAI is required. The service is made available by Microsoft Azure OpenAI under Microsoft Azure OpenAI’s terms of service, and Progress does not have control over such terms, the service and its availability.

Integration

To integrate AI services with your Sitefinity CMS project, you need to first install the AI services NuGet package Progress.Sitefinity.AIServiceConnector. You can have only one client per Sitefinity CMS instance.

  1. In Sitefinity CMS backend, navigate to Administration » Modules & Services.

  7. In the API version field, enter the API version of the Azure OpenAI service. For more information, see Azure OpenAI Service REST API reference.
  8. Select whether to send Sitefinity CMS user ID to the AI service.
    Enabling this option helps to track and analyze user interactions and activities and detect abusive behavior within the service.
  9. Click Save changes.

  1. Navigate to Administration » Settings » Backend interface.

The configuration of the AI services happens in the advanced settings. There you can define a prompt for each action and parameters for each prompt that are filled out by content editor to give you a specific prompt to use for content generation. For more information on prompts, see Microsoft Azure’s documentation on Design prompts.

  2. Expand your service client.
  3. Expand Parameters to configure the basic settings parameters here or add new one.
