Summary

  • Removed OpenAI API key from prerequisites in quick_start.mdUiPathChatOpenAI routes all requests through UiPath's LLM Gateway, so no OpenAI API key is needed
  • Removed the "Set Up Environment Variables" section that instructed users to configure OPENAI_API_KEY
  • Removed the 🔧 Please ensure to define OPENAI_API_KEY message from the uipath new example output
  • Updated .env.example files in agent-as-tools and rag-assistant samples to clarify that authentication is handled via uipath auth

Test plan

  • Verify quick_start.md renders correctly without the removed sections
  • Confirm samples still work with uipath auth (no OPENAI_API_KEY needed)

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

UiPathChatOpenAI routes all requests through UiPath's LLM Gateway,
so no OpenAI API key is needed. Removed misleading references from
quick_start.md and added an info box clarifying that an OPENAI_API_KEY
is only required when using the OpenAI client directly.

- Removed OpenAI API key from prerequisites in quick_start.md

- Added info box explaining UiPathChatOpenAI vs direct OpenAI usage
- Removed agent-as-tools .env.example (uses UiPathChatOpenAI, no env needed)
