 4. Rename `.env.template` to `.env` and fill in your `OPENAI_API_KEY`. If you plan to use Speech Mode, fill in your `ELEVEN_LABS_API_KEY` as well.
   - Obtain your OpenAI API key from: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys.
   - Obtain your ElevenLabs API key from: https://elevenlabs.io. You can view your xi-api-key using the "Profile" tab on the website.
+  - If you want to use GPT on an Azure instance, set `USE_AZURE` to `True` and provide the `OPENAI_API_BASE`, `OPENAI_API_VERSION` and `OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_ID` values as explained here: https://pypi.org/project/openai/ in the `Microsoft Azure Endpoints` section
