+# OpenAI Zero-Code Instrumentation Examples
+
+This is an example of how to instrument OpenAI calls with zero code changes,
+using `@elastic/opentelemetry-node` included in the Elastic Distribution of
+OpenTelemetry Node.js ([EDOT Node.js][edot-node]).
+
+When OpenAI examples run, they export traces, metrics and logs to an OTLP
+compatible endpoint. Traces and metrics include details such as the model used
+and the duration of the LLM request. In the case of chat, Logs capture the
+request and the generated response. The combination of these provide a
+comprehensive view of the performance and behavior of your OpenAI usage.
+
+## Install
+
+First, set up a Node.js environment for the examples like this:
+
+```bash
+nvm use --lts  # or similar to setup Node.js v20 or later
+npm install
+```
+
+## Configure
+
+Copy [env.example](env.example) to `.env` and update its `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
+
+An OTLP compatible endpoint should be listening for traces, metrics and logs on
+`http://localhost:4318`. If not, update `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT` as well.
+For example, if Elastic APM server is running locally, edit `.env` like this:
+```
+OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8200
+```
+
+## Run
+
+There are two examples, and they run the same way:
+
+### Chat
+
+[chat.js](chat.js) asks the LLM a geography question and prints the response.
+
+Run it like this:
+```bash
+node --env-file .env --require @elastic/opentelemetry-node chat.js
+```
+
+You should see something like "Atlantic Ocean" unless your LLM hallucinates!
+
+### Embeddings
+
+
+[embeddings.js](embeddings.js) creates in-memory VectorDB embeddings about
+Elastic products. Then, it searches for one similar to a question.
+
+Run it like this:
+```bash
+node --env-file .env --require @elastic/opentelemetry-node embeddings.js
+```
+
+You should see something like "Connectors can help you connect to a database",
+unless your LLM hallucinates!
