Improved help for Azure PowerShell

The enhancements to the azure agent are designed to cut back friction when managing Azure assets
with the Azure CLI and PowerShell. The agent now gives deeper integration with Azure PowerShell,
making it simpler to make use of AI-created Azure PowerShell scripts.

Broader help for third social gathering OpenAI-compatibles fashions

With this launch, the openai-gpt agent extends help to 3rd social gathering fashions that observe the
OpenAI API specs, permitting for a extra versatile AI expertise. Many of those fashions are open
supply instruments for working SLMs and LLMs regionally. The openai-gpt agent nows helps the next
extra fashions:

To make use of these fashions, you solely have to configure the endpoint, key and mannequin title within the agent
config file. The next openai.brokers.config file accommodates instance configurations for 2 of
the brand new AI suppliers.

{
    "GPTs": [
        {
          "Name": "gpt-deepseek",
          "Description": "A GPT instance using DeepSeek v3.",
          "Endpoint": "https://api.deepseek.com",
          "ModelName": "deepseek-chat",

    "Lively": "gpt-deepseek"
}

Improved native command error dealing with

Resolve-Error (alias fixit) now makes use of the display scraper API on Home windows to seize the error
output of native instructions. This permits AI Shell to supply higher decision of error messages that
come from native instructions fairly than from PowerShell.

Ollama agent enhancements

We refactored the instance code for the agent ollama. This instance gives the essential construction
that you should utilize to construct out your personal agent. The refactored code now makes use of the OllamaSharp
library and add the flexibility to configure the agent utilizing settings information.

The ollama agent isn’t shipped with AI Shell however you possibly can construct it your self. See the directions
within the regionally construct the repo part of the README. Thanks @kborowinski on GitHub for
this contribution!

Instruments for simple deployment of Azure OpenAI situations

We added a Bicep template that deploys an Azure OpenAI occasion in seconds. Utilizing the template is
a lot sooner than manually creating an occasion within the Azure portal. This template consists of
documentation with step-by-step directions.

Further bug fixes

There are lots of bug fixes on this launch. For a whole listing of modifications, see the changelog.
