It's up to you, but we didn't use "delphi" in the product name in previous examples. Do we need to highlight it for some reason in the repo name? Or we may add a tag to the repo right-side description.

I agree, I'll surely update this:

This simple example integrates AI into DevExpress VCL Controls using the official Embarcader SmartCore AI component library available via the GetIt Package Manager.
VCL developers can switch between different AI providers and utilize commands that DevExpress AI Assistant adds to DevExpress Text Editors (such as `TcxMemo` or `TdxRichEditControl`).

> VCL developers can use either SmartCore AI library, plug in third-party libraries or leverage own implementation to support different AI providers. For example, the DevExpress VCL Rich Text Editor demo ("%Public%\DevExpress VCL Demos\MegaDemos\Product Demos\ExpressRichEditControl\dxAI.ChatClient.Azure.pas" uses our Azure OpenAI service deployment via a simple `TdxAIAzureChatClient` implementation (extends our base `TdxAIChatClient` API).

> DevExpress AI-powered Extensions follow the "bring your own key" principle. DevExpress does not offer a REST API and does not ship any built-in LLMs/SLMs. You need an active subscription for the required AI service to obtain the REST API endpoint, key, and model deployment name. These variables must be specified at application startup to register AI clients and enable DevExpress AI-powered Extensions in your application.
