builder.AddAIAgent("my-agent", "You are a helpful assistant.");

// Register services for OpenAI responses and conversations (also required for DevUI)
builder.Services.AddOpenAIResponses();
builder.Services.AddOpenAIConversations();

var app = builder.Build();

// Map endpoints for OpenAI responses and conversations (also required for DevUI)
app.MapOpenAIResponses();
app.MapOpenAIConversations();

if (builder.Environment.IsDevelopment())

    // Map DevUI endpoint to /devui
    app.MapDevUI();
}
