Email summarization and answering web app

Introduction

In this exercise you'll be building a simple web app that allows to summarize and answer your emails! We'll be using the following technology:

• Python
• Streamlit library (web frontend)
• Azure OpenAI Service (summarization, answering)

Guided help

Use Streamlit to build the UI

Use streamlit to build a simple UI. First, follow the getting started guide.

Once you have that running, create a new Python file called email_app.py and use the following components to build the UI:

• Header for your app
• Write text to the page
• Buttons
• Text area for entering your email

1. Create a title, a text area where you can enter an email, and two buttons ("Generate Summary" and "Generate Answer")
2. Run the app via streamlit run email_app.py
3. Add fake functionality that when somebody presses one of the buttons, that the UI prints something

Add Azure OpenAI Service

Once your app UI is running, add Azure OpenAI Service:

1. Add Azure OpenAI Service to generate a summary
2. Add Azure OpenAI Service to generate an answer
